I haven't assembled the grill yet, but I bought a hundred pulls on Egay real cheap. Lots cheaper than the hardware store
While you're at it... How 'bout some custom side trim, Ala Johnny Taylor's incredible '58 Ford? (Photo: Howard Gribble)
I get we all have opinions! But that’s not what I was asking for. I am asking for guys that have built or own a tube and or pull knob grille. There are plenty of cars that win awards that I don’t care for. But I keep moving on! It’s easy to give a negative opinion on something you don’t like or care for. With that being said I’m not here to impress anyone. That’s why we all built cars to make them our personal own.
... more "nag"ging ... Robert Yoas ... custom 1957 Corvette, built by Dick Bertolucci. ... slight off topic posts following. Why ? Because they're f*cking cool ! PLUSH WHITE CARPET FOUR SPEED !! PLUSH PLEATED DASH !!!
No discussion of homemade grilles would be complete without mention of Joe Bailon. Though idiosyncratic, a thorough search through his builds should at least open one's eyes to the true meaning of "custom". https://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/joe_bailon/
Chromed copper tubing and sheet metal were used to form the grille on Ted Leventhal's Chevy (notable for the first-ever Candy paint job). (from Kustomrama)
