Engine looks great....Needs a grill.

Still crazy after all these years!
The car and engine look outstanding. I'm not a big fan of some of the tractor grills. Have seen some that worked out well though.
I really like that red car along side the A.

I must agree. I like it but I'd think twice about a tractor grill.

Bags are for groceries. I like it the way it is, what grill used to be on it???
I saw you at the Texas Motor Speedway a few years ago.
By the way I am curious about how you linked up your shocks, they are awesome and some mighty fine engineering.
Unless I have the wrong guy.

I think it looks pretty hot the way it is. I have to be careful what I say. On the other forum I am a member of....they get all ****y and gang up on you if you say their ride looks like a rat rod even if it really does. Again, great looking Rat Rod!

I'm not sure what you're asking, but if you want to know if we think you should put a tractor grill on it, I say no.
I think it looks great as is!

love the car and the motor looks great..I like a Farmall H grill..on a Farmall H..I think a stock or modified model A grill of some sort would look great.. for a tractor grill, I think a Minny Mo grill could work
my opinion and a buck will buy a cup of day old coffee

I have 2 mini mo's (a big mo 400 and a big mo 500) and you would need to tripple your front spring to run one! the "grille" on the 500 is 3" thick cast iron that wraps all the way around the radiator. It was all my 1 ton engine hoist could do to pick it up and move it into the bucket arms so I could change the radiator!

I guess I'm with many others. No tractor grille. I think a tractor grille works in very select circumstances. I dont agree with putting one on a car or truck because someone else did it on something else. If it happens to look good, OK. If not, leave it on the scrap pile. Your rat looks good the way it is.

Very nice! I really like the headers. It looks good without a grill shell. I am not crazy about tractor grills. But if you have a tractor grill, I think it would look bad if you took a middle section out of it and Vee'd into a wedge. Ive always wanted to do that.
