    With all of the customs, Im surprised no one has asked to see any Grill swaps, grill bars and such. you know, a Merc w/ 54 Desoto Teeth, chevy w/ oldmobile grill bar...or something out of the ordinary and full Custom like a floating grill bar like the one in the Hirohota Merc.

    Lets see those openings, the ideas would be great to see.

    I have always wondered where everyone came up with getting
    ahold of these floating grills. I've seen alotta innovative/custom stuff. Anyone know of any aftermarket floating grills? I found this one guy saber tooth grills from the www.hotrodders.com

    I have a reproduction corvette grille in my dodge. The surround is a combination of stock and custom pieces. The corvette grille is cheaper than the sabretooth grille and it's not plastic.

    I know, dodges are ugly. That's why I had to change the front end so much. [​IMG]

    That's what I think 54 Packard tailights look like-and the Edsel grille is...take a guess [​IMG] Don't doubt the designers didn't intend some of that stuff, Dagmars are pretty obvious, the other stuff a little more subtle.
