    The most popular has always been the Glory Grills model. Goto www.customgrills.com for all the info. I think the turn around is 2-3 weeks.

    I picked up a grill from Gene Winfield about 6 years ago. He told me it was '55/'56 Plymouth. No clue of which model, or if it really is out of a Plymouth. All I know is that it fit. Not as long as the factory, but for what I paid compared to the Glory Grills' price, I'm cool with that. Here is a frontend shot of my '57.

  3. These aren't too hard to make.

    No magic about welding stainless steel either.

    In fact, with a little creativity you could JB Weld stainless studs into holes drilled in the back side of the tubing and bolt that to a vertical piece of stainless angle that holds the horizontal tubing and also bolts to the grille opening.

    Make the grille.
    Dis-assemble.
    Polish.
    Assemble.
    Install.
    Enjoy....
