Tech: Make your own ’34 grill….with tin snips

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by 34Hupmobile, May 25, 2004.

  1. I think that if you can make a paper model of something you can certainly make the same thing out of sheet metal. Its just a bit tougher to cut and fold. Thanks for the kudos folks. You are too kind.

    That model of Hupp is kind of an odd duck, in that almost all of the body is a Ford, and so many parts are available used or repro'd, but that front end is rare, rare, rare!

    Your grille is in much worse shape than mine. I hope to salvage mine with some of those fairground multi-metal fix-all rods, maybe to the point where I could paint it at least. This would get my vote for Tech tip of the Week - that's some serious home fabricating there!
