    Thanks I used different sized nuts as spacers and several c clamps tried different layouts and decided that the best had to match the outside of the grill angles

    Years ago a friend owned a very large junkyard in Eatonton, GA. He also did recycle on different metals. Went to visit one day and found him sitting in the shop sorting out various sizes of stainless steel tubing. The tubing at one of the local dairy farms had been replaced and Richard was able to score all of the old tubing.
    His intention was to build a grille for one of his 34 Fords. I don't think he ever finished one and the tubing went to scrap........... Jeff
