Show me your custom 32 grille insert!!!!

I'm planning on making my own 32 grille insert for my 4 inch chop grille. Show me your grille insert. What material did you use? Even if it's not yours and it looks good, post it!

 

Anybody?

 

Anybody at all?

 

check out circle city hot rod pics, there was just a post on 31 coupe they built with a aluminum insert with some flared holes punched in it that looked good, also try a search there was a post a while back where a guy made one with some material he picked up at home depot and used some brake line to make the surround that looked pretty good ! heres a pic of mine , not custom but chopped 7 and 1/2 inches

 

Sorry this is a ****py shot but...I was feeling sorry for ya that nobody wants to play along. I fit 1/2" flat steel inside the grill shell. Then I started with one 3/16 rod in the center and went to the outside using a paint mixing paddle as a space guide. Right or wrong that how I did it.

 

stainless wire mesh with round bar bent to shape...then chromed

 

Damn...mine looks bent as hell in the post but, its really not. Honest!

 

found the one from circle city !

 

Evel - I really like the way yours sits in the shell a ways. I tried that with my new stock grill and it didn't look right.

 

skratch has a cool insert on his coupe

 

I used 3/8 SS rod for the frame and 5/32 rod for the bars. Made a jig for spacing.

Let see if this turns out better.

 

Evel that insert looks sweet.

 

Ya I had to push it out as far as possible so I could hide the electric fan..

 

My 32 grill insert is made of expanded metal with a center wire.

 

Bttt For the morning crowd.

 

Did I miss the Disk brakes too?

Just kidding, that grille shell is so ****ery Evel. Definitely stands out in a crowd and I like the way it's pushed out. Never knew there was a purpose besides just looking rad.

 

damn jj why you gotta be hatin on some disc brakes?
didn't you once have a model A cab on a 86 s-10 ch***is that was bagged?

 

Would you care to purchase that s-10?

 

I did mine in copper, did I mention im a plumber (sorry for the ****ty pic)

 

Hanky... I'm digging your pickup man....

 

Do you have a close up picture? Looks real good!

 

I went out today and took some new pics (sorry for the size of the picture)

 

I tried this exact same thing and it ended up looking like hammered bat ****! That's why I'm lurking here. Thanks, Mike

 

Here's the one off my old 32 project....

 

Very Cool! That's screaming "Salt Flat"

 

Mine has been cut 5" and will soon be chromed

 

Got any pics on how you made it? Where did you get the metal?
