anybody have pics of floating grills????

i have be working on one for a few days now. i had planed it all out. then in the middle of welding everything up. i had another idea. i want to see some photos if you have them.

i'm think of welding a flat piece to the bottom of it so it sits smooth but still keeps the roundness to it. hard to explain.

heres what i got so far. when its all done i will show a before, during and after shots.

thanks

my firewall did get painted but i didn't like the way it came out so it's going to get redone. my roof got painted HoK Kandy Apple Red basecoat with some red flake in it. i'm waiting for my dad's friend to finish with my front clip so i can get the rest of the car painted... i guess i'm on the backburner of the backburners. my seats are at the upholsterer; i don't know when those are getting done.

**** yeah, i'm up for another So-Cal HAMB get together. we definitely need to work on that. what's up with all of your projects?

 

mines

 

The first pic in this post made me happy because I thought that the machine had a rolled pan and no front bumper. The floating grille looks really good!- the hood corners would look *****in rounded off.

 

heres mine looks ok

 

Low springs--I like your 'floater'

Here's mine, it's not floating, but I like it anyway.
