Hot Rods 34 Ford Grille

Well, here is the latest. I build a fair amount of grilles. This is the latest one, a 34 Ford full polished stainless steel. Just simple straight bars in an original shell. The original grille was trashed, so I trimmed up the shell, and did some brazing of holes and pits. Alot of the street rod folks eat up the grilles with the top roll and such, this is just a simple straight forward approach.

This is for a customer in Lima, Peru, going on a very nice steel coupe, all traditionally styled... he chose to have me build a grille for him as its half the price of a drake, and I was one of the only shops willing to work with him on getting a steel shell, and fit with an insert and ship it to him. I think it turned out pretty decent.

 

That, Sir, is very nice work. Thanks for posting it.

 

Impressive!

 

Awsome. nice work.

 

Can you do the same thing with a 32 insert?...

 

I can, but can't compete with the price of Dale's.



Thanks guys for the compliments

 

...'at are purdy...

 

How about a 40 delux ?

 

I could, never have, but have been asked that before... I could, if I had something to go off of.

 

Finally stumbled upon the pics of the shell when I started...

 

Just curious. How many Hours?

 

About 4 in the shell repair and about 9 in the grille insert

 

nice work.... are you going to chrome it?
love to see it if you are.

 

Very nice work! Thanks for sharing.

 

Thanks, customer may chrome it, he wants to... I am not sure how well the shell will chrome...I got it whipped into pretty decent shape, so we shall see.
