    I swapped out the '49 grille for a '50, then added '53 teeth.
    Looks good, and couldn't be easier.
    (Pardon the hood gaps. Mock-up.)

    Recently got a 50 to swap into my 49 ... I like the less-is-more treatment. It needs replating so I'm drilling all those rivets ... guess they didn't have any nuts and bolts when it came time to assemble the grilles.

    Here's mine. Stock 50 surround, 53 Vette center bar with 13 teeth, two extra teeth replace the side pocket divides. Still need to fill in the bar cutouts on the side pocket teeth, but its coming along.

  21. Anyone know if there are any center bars and, teeth that will " bolt in" a 51 Chevy other than the 52 center bar and, teeth? I feel like I need some teeth.
     
  22. add teeth to your bar. i think you can fit 13 to a 52.
