    The stock grill in my 54 Ford is just rotten. I see a lot of pics of cars like mine with tube grills that look really cool; but Google has been fruitless. Does anyone have an idea where to find one? or are they all custom made? Thanks-Roger.

    Someone on eBay was selling tube grilles, but that was a while back.

    You might want to check out this older post https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...sting-custom-grilles-for-52-54-fords.1070210/ Back in the 60s we made them from tubing from a plumbing supply, the already made ones from J.C. Whitney or Almquist ran about $39.95, before Butch's was bought out by Shoebox Central they had some listed @ $695.

    I have a Cal Custom single bar grille in my 54 (see avatar pic) and I also have a Cal Custom tube grille as well just hanging in the garage. The tube grille I have is the one where you still use the original ends and parking light housings.

    I did switch to the Cal Custom tube grille recently. It was time for a change. I changed my avatar pic too.
