Thread: You didn't like my flamed grille insert, what about this one?

Those e-bay experiences can be very painful! The crooks know they have the upper hand when they throw the "ship at your expense" line at you. I'm getting mad all over again! Man, I hate that this happened to you. Finding the money out of a family's income to buy street rod parts can be difficult for many of us. I have an original shell and a Brookville if you need any measure-ments. Just let me know.

Mine was a perfect fit to the Outlaw glass shell but I never sent the shell to them. I did tell them what kind of shell it was. They one you have must be a special order of some kind. If the problem is the grill and not your shell, then you should contact Ebay and PayPal or your credit card company. You should not have to accept misrepresented merchandise or pay for its return.

I spent some time on Dan Fink's web site & I see something different. On all the DF grilles, the 2 horizontal bars that space all the vertical bars are all straight across. Take a look at the 1st pic in the thread- especially the 2nd one I posted. Both bars are curved & peak in the middle. They are NOT straight across!
I'm wondering if this is someone elses grille & not a DF grille.

I'll be at the shop tomorrow and will take a picture of mine for you. I looked at some pictures I have but they don't really show the crossbars well.

If this guy has a good rating on Ebay you may have some leverage because he won't want any problems there.

You do seem to want those flames!!! Somewhere!!

Not my thing, but done tastefully can really set a car off very nicely. Maybe a subtle ghost flame job?? But I understand that they are much more expensive, too.

If you paid it with Paypal, they will lock his checking or credit card till you get it resolved. been there done that.
Go through Ebay "Fair Trade", they'll contact them on it aslo.

The plot thickens.
I looked at the grilles on the DF website & the one I got. The real DF grille has a straight across spacer bar (2) & this one has 2 curved bars & peaked at the top.
Sooooo I called Dan Fink. They confirmed their spacer bars are straight when viewed from the front & every grille they make is engraved with DF Metalworks on the top trim.

FRAUD!!!!!!!
