Thanks HRP!

 

Post up some pics of your ride!

That's quite a cavity to fill. Parts availability (and cost) are ever becoming a greater factor.
How about something home made? Be creative!

This beauty was done by HAMB'er ratser, with 100 lipstick tubes.
(Alignment this precise is rare!)

 

Crap, thought we were Bar-be-Que-in'...

 

Bet that thing whistles in a crosswind

 

I would also explore mid-fifties Mopar grilles, for available options.
Dodge and Plymouth grilles, '53-'56, should fill the bill, and still be obtainable.
Then again, there's nothing wrong with the stock Ford grille.
Whatever you decide, please don't leave us hanging.

 

Tubes/ vertical/ horizontal
Knobs/ Chrome / glass
54 Chevy teeth
Desoto grill
Mesh
Any of a plethora of ideas

Shit, look at what ‘MO posted, some punches flat sheet and lipstick tubes!!!! Not sure how long it will last but for minimum investment you have a bitching grill idea!

 

Maybe Spotlite Kustoms will be tooling up the replica '54 Pontiac grilles if guys will bug Brandon about them. https://www.spotlitekustomaccessories.com/contact.html

 

Jeff I am working on this as we speak. Unfortunately sometimes the process is slow.

 

Like those hood hinges ? I see those wanted on some of the forums on a regular basis. Looks like the guys that bought them gave a two thumbs up rating.

 

I've posted this pig in a couple of different threads. I was having the same dilemma, so I went old school and built a grille. Front bumper as well.

 

54 Pontiac is hard to beat in those cars.

 

Not sure what your thinking but this could be yours
it's complete including all the turn signal hardware and lenses. The factory hardware that mounts it to the Fame Horns are still in place.

Maybe, but they are "Best" in 49-51 Fords.

That was one helluva fun trip in a super fine mosheen!

Looks like you would know! I had one in a 55 Olds, thought it looked pretty good there, too. Really like the way it flows into turn signals on the 49.

 

Thanks belair, that is not a natural fit even though it looks like it. I can say I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. I will also say I won't be doing that again any time soon.
