    Looking great man, but that is a Cadillac grill, not LaSalle.
    The LaSalle grill is similar but narrower than the Caddy grill.

    Yeah i was originaly gonna run a 38 la salle grill but i didnt like the way it was shaped. I purchased this 37 cad grill and it flows way better. The writing on my grill housing is really old, i just never took it off.

    Gotcha.
    I have the same grill in mine and people are always referring to it as a LaSalle grill, so I guess I'm over-sensitized :)

    When you and others who do the quality of metal work that is posted here, it is almost a shame to put paint on it!

    Loving the grill. Are you able to take a full front shot of it from a little bit back so we can see how the grill looks with the fenders and headlights?

    They are stainless polished ram horns. I chose these because i felt they flowed with the car well being they are curved similar to the fenders.
