What do you think

Oliver tractor grill and Model A head lights........Its gonna be Groovy

 

dunno...and I'm not real fond of the term groovy either...too many memories of friends and acquaintances sitting around in a chemical stupor....

at least it's different....hotrodding likes different...to an extent.

small block chivrolay tractor, dare to be different . . .

 

Got a picture of the tractor with the A grill shell for comparison?

 

I think I would stick with some type of car grill and shell. IMHO.

Yea I would stick with the original grill. If you want a different grill shell put a '32 on it.

 

To each their own. If you like it don`t matter .but if you care what others think you`ll be disappointed. It`s kinda( r-t r-d ) Pete.

 

Not bad for a tractor grille. But it's still a tractor grille.

 

I choose the headlights on your Avatar.

 

Personally I think it could be made to look good if it was smoothed off and "un-ratted". I kinda like the shape, and it's a refreshing change from '32 Ford grills, (which I also like.)
A few years ago I started a thread on here about tractor grill shells and got my *** flamed.(try search).
Lots of folks here don't like them..."not traditional".
Do what you like.

 

It might not look bad if you create a really nice looking insert to go in the shell and get away from the rusty barbecue mesh that is in it.

I thought about doing that 20 years ago but now it is so overdone and usually crudely done that it doesn't appeal any more.

Make it look like a race car nose rather than a misplaced tractor nose and you will have something.

 

I didn't know Oliver ever made a car!!

 

HaHa, Now THAT would be original!!!!

 

I like the profile picture better

 

I think it might work with a hood. I do understand using what you have but sometimes it just doesn't work.

 

I don't think I've ever seen a T with a 32 shell before.

 

Not a fan of tractor grills...

However, I'm wondering about the layout of your set-up. You've got an A frame with a SBC and a T coupe body... those things are pretty commonly put together; I'm not getting why you chose to set it up so that your radiator has to be mounted so far forward?

 

hell yes ! And i would use the wheels too .

Put it back on the tractor and keep looking ,its does make it look like a ###rod.

 

I like it.

Makes me think of cosmic conversations. Oh Grooooovey maaaan.

I guess the tractor grill is OK. Some folks say they belong on tractors but it's really a matter of presentation I suppose. Or maybe its really a matter of perspective.

 

not a huge fan of tractor grills but I have to admit that one does look pretty good. I like the shape of it. keep it on....

 

its just mocked up now I am shooting for a track T kinda look

 

well, you missed. Try aiming better next time.

 

What does it matter what I think? Do you like it? If so run it.

 

think you can still buy track-T grills,that's going to look like a Clown Car
