Made a tube grill...Pics inside

[Anderson]

Started out with this (I guess) '80's truck tube grill I got from MarkX (thanks!!!)

Cut off the bars I didn't need.

Found the center and cut it (not all the way through).

Then gently bent it and cut more from the middle untill I had the peak I needed. Then, welded it.

I had to move these in about 1/2" on each side.

Used the old grill as a pattern tp cut the ends.

If that many red X's were in the title of a porno, that shit'd be raunchy enough to melt your TV...

Great looking Buick...I mean Chevy...ummm Dodge? What is that thing again Eric? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Looks cool...now, that red color we picked out and some work on the bumpers and.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

BTW, did you fix the radiator or get a new one the other day...I think you told me but I forgot.

That Olds is comming along...thumbs up.

I can still see em...so can Elrusto and merc...oh well. Try right clicking and select show picture. Beats me...

Yeah my radiator is fixed...took it somewhere and they fixed that major leak at the top. But they said there was another leak somewhere else on it so they didn't charge me. I can't find the other leak, and it's running fine. I'm happy.

Yeah the grill makes my bumper look even worse. I need some trim clips so I can put the hood lip trim back on too.

Looks good, and the cost was right too.

I bet MarkX has some trim clips, it is a body shop.
