BODY, Custom Grill Shell TECH.... H-BOMB get's a FACE!!

[bobbleed]

Played hooky from the Bleedster and whipped up a grill shell
for Max Wedge's H-Bomb.

Max is kind of a MONSTER, so I wanted this thing look EVIL. I wanted to make a shell that looked like a deformed 32ish shell with an Eddie Munster widows peak.

I'm pretty happy with the way it has turned out so far. I still have a bunch of welding to do and I may Peak it a little, but so far so good. I think it fits the long and low look of the car, amd it is definately different!

He has not seen this yet, so I hope he likes it.



I started off with some 1.5" U-bends and tubing. and fabbed the "Widows Peak" first.




Then I trimmed the U bends and atttached then to the peak forming the top of the grill opening.



Then I added some tubing to the sides and used the rest of the U bend pieces to make the bottom of the opening.




Next I bent some tubing to make the rear edge of the shell.
Then I welded some spacers to it that will double as mounting tabs when it is done.





Next I attached the two pieces together and started to skin it using cardboard templates and 18 gauge sheetmetal.





I finished skinning it and added a skirt to the bottom.
Then I rolled it out side to see how it looked. It fits the mustang radiator well.






So there you have it, a cool, cheap and unique grill shell for the H-Bomb!
