don't know who that one belongs to but if the pic works heres a cooler one for ya. similar but for back in the heeyday. tube grilles are easy to build. all you need is some stainless tubing of you choice of size and a little sheetmetal to make you mounting tabs. or you could go the easy was and take your grille measurements and find an old one on ebay and cut it down to fit. for you car it should be easy. strange though i always liked the stock fairlane grille. but look on ebay you can get 'em round or square tube. hardlyanyone list size but most people will measure it if you ask. i've built a coupla prototypes for the buick trying to get the exact right tube size and spacing and what not. pretty much an afternoons work if you work at it. i built mine oout of regular tubing and was gonna get it plated but now i think i may tweak it a little bit more a use it as a template to build one out of polished stainless as thats way cheaper than plating...ken....

picwas to big to post i'll try and resize it or i can email it to you...

Don't know who's car it is but there's a company that makes tube grilles for about any car, I beleive they're called Glory Grilles. Check in the back of Rod & Custom.

Isn't that Picasso's? (S?)

[Church]

I think it is/was Picasso's too.

[saltflataddict]

no, I dont think so. He has a 1964 Galaxie, and its white, with Astros.. That one is cool though. I have pics thats how I made my own Tube Grill for my galaxie. Real easy to do. those Glory grills are nice but way expensive.

wat year galaxie do u have hooligan wanna make me one for my fairlane??

[Sancho]

That's not Picasso's. It belongs to lowlife Tom in Ark City. He is registered on here as lowlife_tom, but probably doesn't check it very often.

[luckystiff]

looks like tom saw a pic of this one i was talking about earlier for inspirations...ken....

[Sancho]

Hey Luckystiff, want to know something funny? That IS the same car. It used to have the white fade down the center. That pic you posted is from Starbird's show in Wichita, not all that long ago. In the background you can see Jeff Meyer's flamed Ford that use to belong to Dennis (you suck) Mcphail. That's the car that broke down and left him and Ryan stranded on the way to Hangin Dice. Next to it is Dennis' own purple Chevy.

[lownslow]

are you serious ??????? cmon dude, really....make your own......it isn't that hard......or pony up the dough to glory grilles....... i looked into one for a customer and it was around 500 bux.....so i ended up makin one for him ....oh yeah uhhhhhh ....nice hamb handle.....

[SlowandLow63]

i have one that im tryin to make work i have to add 2 more bars to it to make it look right however it will need chroming i figured it would be alot easier and alot cheaper to buy one

[lownslow]

so add the bars and replate it.........cheap and easy doesn't always pay off ..... plus his car is a galaxie and your's is a fairlane...you would still have to adapt it to your car......right ?......if you must do that.......look on ebay and see if you can get one from a truck and cut it down to fit .......

[SlowandLow63]

ya theres a few on ebay that would need to be cut down i just gotta get out and measure my grill
