Projects I'm starting to see the vision in my head

I started this some time ago and wayy behind where I wanted to be but atleast I'm seeing one vision in my head finally coming to life!

I started the spreader bar on my 31 tudor and I knew I wanted to kind of keep that theme to the front of my car so after the spreader bar I went after the radiator shell to mimic my spreader bar.

Once the shell was done I really like the look but it still didn't pop! But a not in your face pop but a nice subtle pop, kinda like a Ballon vs. Bubble wrap pop.

I carried the V into the end of my front bicycle fenders but I still wasn't sure how it was going to go but I knew in order to see the vision I would have to do the grille in order to start bringing it together so this last weekend I got the grille almost done.

Painted the shell black to show the contrast of the grille and now I can finally see the vision coming to life and I'm really happy with it.

Here's a couple pics, I'm going to run a single 1/4" bar down the center and call it good.... well maybe.....

 

Very nicely done. I like your vision.

 

I like it. Even better than a 32 grille
Good start.
The spreader bar is very creative and flows perfectly.

 

Very nice.
Sometimes, some new lines and contours work. Other times, maybe not so much.
That works.
Nice design, excellent execution.

 

That really looks nice!! Where did you get the wire, is it chromed? Bob

 

Thanks guys for the kind words.

@The37Kid it's woven stainless steel mesh #4 that I bought off of ebay.

You are on a roll. Time to make the bottom of the rad shell pointy too.

 

The curve of the drop axle ends compliment the curves you added. I like the headlight stands/shock mounts too.

 

I like the mesh and I have a need for it as well.

 

Very tasteful. Let's see the fenders!

 

I forgot to ask, can you send me the link to the ad?
Thanks

 

Amazon has lots of stainless steel mesh for sale

 

X-cpe your correct, I knew I wanted a pointed spreader bar so I had to figure out ways to make it flow with the front end so that's why I designed and built the grille shell and the headlight stands to all have curves to bring each item into the basic theme.

BTW, I'm a pontiac guy so that's why it's got a pointed beak, the older Pontiacs were always recognizable by the pointed bumpers. Days of my gto and firfirebird.

@Budget36 here is the guy I bought it from.
https://www.ebay.com/str/stainlessmeshworks
He has all different sizes and square count pieces available. He can also custom cut for you. Also he is a straight up honest guy, I was actually looking at #5 but he informed me the quality of #5 right now from several different vendors isn't very good and that it's wavy as crap and would make a terrible grille that size.

Thanks to everyone else for your support!

@chevy57dude I've got some ideas for the fenders, once I get some kinks worked out and some design features I have in mind (but yet to figure out execution) I'll post some pics of them later.
