Hot Rods Should I change the grill on my '29?

I've been bouncing around the idea of putting a chopped deuce grill on my roadster, but I keep going back and forth on whether I really want to do it, or if I've just been leaning that way out of boredom.

I kinda like the stock grill because it stands out since most people switch them over to the deuce grills, but then again, there's a REASON why most people switch them over.

Anyway, I guess I'm just looking for someone to push me off the fence

Edit: Yes, I know the mirror is goofy, it was just a temporary thing I slapped on there to help me back out of my driveway until I found something I like, it'll be gone in a jiffy...

 

No please dont.itll look like every other duece grilled 29...consider this your push back

 

Leave it alone....A grills belong on A's.

 

No, and please get rid of that hideous mirror.

 

x2:d

 

Keep the '29 grill.

 

Pleeze not another cookie cutter friggin deuce shell, your chrome shell is right on!!!! And since you asking for opinions, a swan neck simple classic mirror would be more tasty. The roadster is pure badass!! My two-cents!! ~Sololobo

 

I like 32 shells if youre running a hood, or on a lakes style car but yours looks good as it sits. Could do without the sideview mirror though

 

32 shell cut straight across the bottom (not sectioned), just like a lot of homebuild channeled cars had.

Chop the W/S too

 

Idahno what that reason is. I like A grills better. If I ever happen into a '32 Ford, I might just put an A grill on it.

 

Keep the A grill.The mirrors has to go.

 

'28 & '29 have always been my favs', even thought about putting one on my '32 truck, sorry Deuce guys, I even bought the shell already.
I love the whole look of your car, oh yeah minus the biker mirror, but hey it's your car...

 

Without seeing a few more pix, might I suggest it be a tad taller? Gary

 

Sharp car. I agree. Keep the A Grill.

 

I really dig the A grill..seriously, it looks great! And that's coming from a person who LOVES 32's...
And i gotta agree even though it wasn't asked..gotta lose the cross mirror. That car is way too nice for that type of mirror.

 

Keep the Grill it's awesome and I agree with every one else take the mirrors back Walmart.

 

Don`t change the grille..
and don`t listen to these guys that mirror is the bomb

 

Keep the shell, ditch the mirror.

 

+1 on the mirror

 

Anyone keeping score on the mirror poll?

 

nice roadster keep the grill / trash the mirror and i am not shure about the mr roadster scoop

 

sell the mirror buy a larger A shell

 

A grille, stays. Mirror, goes. Do you have anymore pictures? It's a bitchen' car...

 

I just slapped that mirror on as a temporary thing to help me back out of my driveway until I found one I liked, then I got sidetracked and forgot about it. Consider it gone

Wasn't expecting the grill argument to be that one sided, but it makes sense. I was already leaning towards not doing it, because I was worried I was in that "changing stuff just to change stuff" mode. Gotta trust my gut more from now on...

As far as other changes go, I've thought about chopping the windshield, that'll most likely happen at some point. I go back and forth about the scoop, kinda hard to find something cool for a four barrel carb...

Thanks for the compliments on the car, most of the other pics I have now are just crappy cell phone pics, I'll try to set something up with the photographer at my work once I make a few more tweaks to it (and get rid of that mirror )...

 

I can certainly see keeping the 'A' grille shell on your car, but if it were on '32 rails I'd lean towards a '32 shell.

Cool looking car. I'd like to see more pics.

Where is the mirror poll?

Keep the grill.

 

Chopped 32

 

to me sectioned or chopped 32 grills look dopey. They need to be left alone. Keep the A grill.

 

Grille shell stays, mirror goes. I can recall a time when the iron cross was not so novel. Shit I use to go places wearing my Schneider Racing Cams t-shirt and having people ask me if I was a Nazi. We can thank pop culture and a few high profile shops for taking the Nazi question off the table. Oh well, I will always have a place for the Maltese Cross in my heart...but not as a mirror. Nice little hotrod you have there. Whats the mill?

 

Chopped 32 grille shells are sooo gay
