Projects 30/31 Model A, with a Deuce Grill Section 2.5" or Cut 2.5"

What is y'alls opinion on sectioning 2.5" from the middle or just cutting 2.5" from the bottom? Of course sectioning requires customizing the insert.

 

I took just enough out of the bottom side area of mine to bring the hood flange to the point where my hood was level.

 

Section, I did that to my 31' shell. I like keeping the original lines.

Although a 31' shell you can see how I did it in the pics.

NO,! NO !NO!, JUST TRIM THE SIDES .....at the bottom, don't touch the insert !!!!

Fact: you really want hood to slope down at grille shell, otherwise it appears to be goin' up

 

My vote is for>>> to section an A shell,,,
The amount needed to have my hood top slope forward just enough. ( no sides )
Then, if still alive, fashion a thinbar grille like I've only seen once.
