grill shell up date

[pablo]

OK did some cutting, and clecoed it all together, it fits pretty good, only have one little snafu to fix onthe passenger side, will have to do some filling in.

Question to the group, you guys did such a great job of giving me good advise with the rear bumper ill ask you this, what should I do with the grill? I am going to run the radiator in the trunk so i guess i could block off the grill seciton completly.

I was thinking of a flying eye ball ala Bone head, you know build a flying eye ball out of round stock and have the wings be the grill. I have some skecthes but i am undecided.

Your imput is always welcome.

Pablo,
Use some verticle strips of flat stock and give it the look of stits cut in it from top to bottom.

Or use some round stock and make it look like a jail cell door...

I like the sketch too. I think I would make the eye 3 D, solid with layers of center and veins. Then I think I would layer in the feather look out of solid sheet metal. I don't think round stock would let most people get the idea of what you are after. Think 3D, but keep it tight to the grill so you have the shape you are after.

I'm thinking about doing mine in some vintage Kelly diamond barb wire I have.
Also look in you local hardware store at the aluminum stock. They have some things that always give me ideas for grille stock. I had some smallish steel flat stock but it was going to weigh a ton when I got it laid out so I nixed than plan.

Lets see the sketch of the idea.Now you got me wondering what is going to look like.
