    would like a little input here ! moving along on the makeover of my roadster pickup in the photos ! trying to decide which grill shell to run ! i want to run a 32 ! but part of me wants to be different and leave the 34 chevy on it though ! i also think a nice chrome 28 looks good too ! what ya think , trucks gona be red with a white firewall , so if i go with the 32 red shell , pollished insert surround and crank hole with white bars ! 34 chevy red shell with white insert ! comments suggestions let em rip ! 32 in photo is to short will have to find another one !

    '32 Ford are by far the best looking and tried and true. The '34 Chevy on the other hands looks good and could look even better if it were cut down a bit. I seems very long and 2'' out of it may give you the best of both worlds.

    I'm surprised to say it but that Chevy shell and grille looks neat on that car!
     
  6. I vote for the 32 but if you keep the 34 Chebby one it realy needs to be sectioned.

    Shorten the Chevy grille and then I'll trade you something for the short 32 one.

    Sometimes I have to make the same decision ... but I always end up with the same old look :)

    You KNOW which one I would choose for your ride.

    I'd go with a deuce shell.
     
  15. I'd either leave the one on it, or put on the '28. The deuce is overdone.

    Like the others say, I'm surprised by how much I dig the Chev shell. Shorten it, and Bob's your uncle.

    I like the Chevy, but it needs to be sectioned for better proportions.

    The chevy grille looks too big, like a shield. Be different-use the 28
     
  20. I like the Chevy grill but I tend to agree that it needs to be sectioned.

  21. Section the chevy and you are good to go
