Hot Rods Saving 32 grille inserts

I’ve lately occupied my spare time in the evenings while “sheltering at home” by straightening and replacing bars in 32 grilles it’s challenging to take a bent twisted old bar and make it decent enough to put in a grille. Now my challenge is to find old original bars or even new ones. Most suppliers are back ordering them these days. Does anyone know of a good source?

I’ve been working on 33 and 34 grilles too.

Of all things, Henry should have made these using stainless steel!

 

A decade ago I traded a bent up ol grille to NealinCA, and he made it like new. Maybe someone can link his old thread?

I need 2 0r 3 bars myself. Don't think I'll find any in the near future-stuck her at home.

 

Neal's insert fun.
