    I am using a 32 ford grille shell on my 31 Coupe with a standard radiator cap.
    i'm looking for ideas as i'm not sure if i should use a repop chrome trim or if i should paint it or re-style it in some way.
    Lets see what you've got

    Thanks

    I gotta admit, I don't know which way a '32 radiator cap goes. Is it like you've got it with the chunkier side forward? JohnnyA
