Home made grille* UPDATE*

Nope, as posted it was Nealinca. Mine was a 33 Comercial shell that I tweaked. But thanks for thinking of me

 

I am playing around with some material for an insert. This is what I have at the moment what do ya think?

 

no way man

 

You don't think the insert is gonna work?

 

I think the insert isn't up to par with the rest of the grill. I realy like the grill though.

 

Yeah I have this material out n the shop and thought I would try it out. it is only tie wired in at the moment. I also have a pile of stainless rod I may weld up an inserts. But I really like the material used in the Ford that was posted. I am also considering the door knob look. Thanks, I appreciate honesty.

 

Im thinkin a "Circle City insert" may look really nice in there!

BTW great work!

 

Crease, do have a pic of this "circle city insert" you speak of...........lol .....seriously though do you? I am curious if I have seen it or not.

 

Oh yeah Crease, thanks for the compliment.

 

Well, I will try and get this thing in primer and figure out some more options for the grill insert. I will post the updates tonight

 

Here you go...

rad. i remember that original thread as well. neat stuff.

 

i agree a piece of polished aluminum with some punched flare holes would look sweet in there !

 

Well, I have to admit that is one bad *** grille insert !!!!!!!!!

 

Similar idea, how about a louvered insert? You did an excellent job on the shell, very creative use of materials!

 

another kool design joey....i don't know if the small holes would allow enough puff for the radiator to kool though...also, you will have to make a small, Fat radiator to fit the shell .....here are a couple of my old designs - remember......keep up the neat work joey!!!..............johnnyB

 

Sorry, just caught the pic request. That is indeed the one.

 

I remember seeing that car at the Roundup last year and fell in love with it. The blue lexan windows are sweet, too!

 

Yeah, me too. I hadn't been quite that inspired for quite some time. Great prortions, impressive fabrication and just enough tricks to be hip, rather than over done.

I was sitting there talkin to "Skinny Jeff" when I realized....."hey, you're skinny Jeff". Quite fortunately, I refrained from saying "Do you know who you are"?

 

It has been a while but I finished this piece and now I just don't know what I will do with it..............maybe I will just hang it on a wall or let it go

 

As you can see KreaturesCCaustin you inspired me with the insert........

 

Man, if I didn't have one, I'd be all over that. What are the dimensions? .... just in case.

 

That turned out really good!!!

 

New insert rocks man. Very cool now where to find a GMC grill?

 

Thanks !!!! I will get the dimensions for it

Thanks!!

Thanks, Oh yeah I have been looking for more of the GMC grilees myself....lol

 

Neal, you did the original gmc post?? I have a couple old 32 shells laying around that I want to cut up for my GMC

 

Now that is some funny **** right there............lol

 

Put a clock in it and use it as a shop art. You did a great job!

 

I would rather see it on a car than on a wall

 

as usual joe - anothe great 'lockwood' creation.....the insert is super!...now build the car! to go with it...jb
