1952-59 Ford desoto grill teeth

What do you guys think of the grill? I have a little adjusting to do on the teeth an my next step is to put 52 ford turn signals on it. If anyone has a set let me know.

 

always liked those just so hard to find at a decent price

 

No offence meant, but I think you have too many teeth in it. I like the concept though.

 

i was actually thinking about pulling some out an respacing them just haden't made up my mind yet

 

Grill going to be cool,but looks a little crowded right now,either need to remove a couple of teeth or remove area of fender were turnsignal mounts and spread teeth out.

 

that looks good on that 53!!
I think tho with a little centering it would look better.
My buddy ericl1951 here on the hamb has vw bumbers for teeth as his grill and it looks really cool

 

i like the idea. maybe 4 per side with spacing would look right, but i like it.

 

Thanks guys! Appriciate the comments. I think the shadowing in the pic an angle make them look alot more off center than they really are. The teeth arent original desoto they are actually a cast set off ebay. they need sanding an some polishing

 

Eleven teeth seems like a couple too many in that area unless, as mentioned before, you remove the turn signal housing.

 

You're on the right track! I like the idea of removing the turn signal housings and spreading them out. You could then put the signals IN the outer teeth.

 

I used 9 teeth and '49 Ford park lights on my '53. Some pix in my album

 

I am in the grill thinking process right now to. I couldnt decide if I wanted a tube grill, or teeth for the 56. I just received over 100' of FREE 3/8" 304 SS tubing, so likely tube grill coming (thanks Uncle . Either way, I saw a lot of folks using these also for teeth, cheap and available for anyone else looking at teeth.
