What would look good in the grill of the Fly?

After looking at pics of the fly on the web....it looks like it needs something in the grillshell area.

Maybe something like a drilled piece of sheetmetal, or a pinstriped insert?

 

the infamous lizard would pretty bitchin' ask FLT BLK! patent pending arrrrrrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!

maybe a spider web design something like sideburns did on his ride.

 

A FLY!!!!!

 

I gan give u a BIG photo of my ugly mug on it...

Oorrrr, something like the Von dutch upsidedown face would be wild...

I can't paint........

 

Just edited my reply with a suggestion for a non-painting solution.

 

It needs something...like big holes drilled in a piece of aluminum for a grill.

 

Did Crease give you your paint or did he sniff it all before he got home?

 

The "holes" thing ties into your drilled visor and axle.

 

Root

How about a metal spider web with a big fly in it?

Nah, Just get Danny to stripe up some stainless.

 

Maybe a WW2 nose art kinda thing with a DragnFly in a bomber helmet and goggles?

 

look at the kontinentals website or aces and eights. sideburns made a web out of like 1/4 rod. it would look bitchin' with a fly added to it. for tha fly

 

I did the siperweb insert in my T. Kinda want something racier......something kinda dry lakes looking.....

Then ditch the shell entirely rather than doing any of the ideas shared that I've seen so much similar to, posted by members here. Look at some of the really ugly early lakes aero experiments. Things like flat sheet alum. wedge noses and such. It wouldn't be pretty by any stretch, but it'd be BALLSY to do it. Unique in todays follow the leader world, though still rooted in tradition and no more original than anything anyone with less guts would do. I'm bettin everybody else just looks at many of those early days pics with curiousity but aren't inspired by the strange, somehow mishapen, yet totally Cool experiments in cheating the wind.

Nah...he lives like 3 miles from me, but I never actually SEE the guy.

 

Root the Fly is perfect as is...(hint of butt smootching). But an aluminum filler with holes wouldnt take away from the look either.

 

there's a fellow who occasionally shows up down here that weaves scorpions from copper wire, all sizes.

one of them mounted to a piece of expanded metal and you're good to go.

 

How about the Fly catching a Spider?!

For a touch of whimsy . . .

. . . a large painted zipper about one-third open.

laminate a bunch of south Missouri BUGS in betwixt two layers of lexan and drill it full of tiny holes then mount it in that shell!

 

Chicken wire with one of those gag shop rubber chickens behind it!

 

i like the colored plexi idea! maybe mounted with a alum. panel behind it!

 

put a moon tank in the middle of it...
