    i dont know if its just a custom thing but the grills that im talking about is for a 1953 chevy bel-air (the designs of the grill)
     
  2. Are you talking about the stock grille with additional teeth in it or a totally different grille? The stockers you will have to find on your own extra teeth or I think Bumper Boys (I'm not EVEN gonna start down that road) might have them complete for a hefty price tag. If you want a vette grille, Desoto, Pontiac or something else you are going to have to find one and make it fit on your own.

  3. With all the stainless steel available, making your own wouldn't be too difficult.

    Using flat bar, drilled, proper length spacers would give you a floating bar grille.
    In fact, you could do that with the bars oriented vertically and end up with a 57 Buick looking grille cept it would be free-floating and a little different looking.

    Buff the outer edges to a high polish or buff the whole piece of stainless.

    Using stainless tube welded to a stainless angle for bolting to the car should be easy as well.

    Careful use of epoxy for those who don't weld is a viable option.

    You're only limited by your imagination so you may as well make something different from what everyone else has....
