...doesn't fit the curvature.

OEM 1932 insert in my shell...

Anybody have any ideas? I know the easiest and most assured way is to buy the set assembled...but I've already spent several hundred on what I have and shipping to Hawaii is damn expensive.

It's fiberglass. Cut it up and make the surround , well.. actually surround the insert of your choice. Repop parts never seem to "fit". I went through 4 or 5 grilles/surrounds setups on my coupe, then I just got frustrated and called Bob Drake for one of his repop grilles. I think I spent as much money in grilles as I did for motor / tranny setup!

34_40, my shell is steel (black one). The green one is glass and is on "loan". Jerry - that car is bad ass!! Very nice headers!! You are saying you just called up Brookville and purchased a built set of shell and insert?
Thanks for the input!

Was in L.A. a couple weeks ago and stopped by Duane Jones place (California Roadster Co). He hooked me up with a matching set - grill and insert.
