    I have a early '60's style custom with a '53 chevy grill surround. I need an insert or ideas for one that I can build. Has anyone ever used '58 Ford mesh or '59 ford star mesh? "50 Olds insert didn't work with the rectangular shapes. Definately didn't didn't like the '54 chevy bar with extra teeth;too belly button. I've got the car 99% done and don't want the grill to kill it.

    Here's mine. 54 ford grille. Narrowed, and repeaked. With the bullet, bottom bar and ends shaved. Now i just need to rechrome it. Not exactly 60's style. But might help get your wheels turning
