    Something that follows the curve of the firewall and back of the bucket - at least in the back of the shell - would be good. 60's style almost begs for a hand formed fiberglass surround with quad headlights, doesn't it? Good luck.

    i think they became the rhode island roadster company... website stinks but they used to sell grille kits like this: sans the insert i believe.

    That's what I'm thinking but everything I put to paper doesn't look right.

    I'll second Von Hartmann - Here's the thought that popped into my head after seeing your first sketch - though the Edsel idea is lookin' good!
    I've tried drawing "60's Show" style buckets before - this is the first one I've liked! Cheers for the inspiration!
