Hot Rods Grill insert.............picture thread

I wanted more of a Drag Car look on the "A" Coupe so I made an insert and chopped the shell 2 inches....you guys know my cheap****, this insert cost me nothing.......I found at work 3/8 rod and an old muffler shield off of a 59 Ford 1 ton at work and straightened it.

Please post more inserts for ideas if you have them.

 

Bitchin' insert...................cheap too, double winner!

 

Personal Favorite. As a whole I have been digging the painted ones lately

I tried making my own.... it was a total failure!
After I get over the shame of screwing up a lot of good metal I'll try again. Mike

I like it! Very nice piece, good work.

 

the stance on your A is kick**** man! got that mean gas class look goin on.

 

Here is one I made for my 28 chevy delivery. Mostly to protect the radiator from road hazards...ghost

 

That insert looks sweet! Nice work.

 

looks like O'bama

I laughed so hard my coffee came out my nose!

 

Royalshifter,
I like yours!! looks great, made it with reasonable stuff and you did it yourself! Perfect.

I did mine from some 3/16 stainless rod and some stainless woven wire screen from McMaster and Carr. Kinda hard to get a good pic of but it protects the radiator and looks good.

Dumb question? Is there a way to calculate the volume of air passed / not passed by one of these custom inserts compared to the cooling air provided by OEM inserts? Or worst case, a custom insert AND a shrouded fan in combination? Anyone care? Gary

 

That's really******in how do they get that cool bevel in the holes ?
