I am building a 32 grill----Wanna Watch????

No Bunkie, this is not for a car thats going into the Oakland Roadster show.----Not exactly for a rat-rod either. I have built 2 32 grill inserts in the past, and now I'm going to build one for the roadster pickup. Why----cause I'm not a fan of the expanded metal look, but there ain't no way I can afford $500 for an aftermarket grill. This grill will look like a 32 grill, and will be painted flat black (which will really go good with the chrome yellow paint) It will weigh about 15 pounds, and be made of 1/4" diameter cold rolled steel rod. I know that a fiberglass 32 grillshell will support it O.K., cause both my earlier cars are still running around the country wearing the grills I built. My total cost?----I just bought 80 foot of 1/4" cold rolled steel rod at the local metal shop for $18.00 Throw in $5 for a rattle can of flat black Krylon, and thats it----a $23 nineteen thirty two Ford grill clone.----stay tuned----pictures will be posted.
