I got tired of the holes in my bumper and since I was ordering another batch of laser cut metal, I drew up some new grilled based on stock grills. Rib spacing and size is right off the original piece and even the corner sections are just like stock. I'm totally happy with how they turned out. These were made from mild steel for testing and then 'chrome' powder coated.
I don't think there's any interest in these for purchase, since Mark914Rubber makes OE Style Fog Light Grills for less than these would cost. But these are OE for my early car (never had fog lights) and being original makes my car unique (and confirms I'm a little crazy). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Attached image(s) |

Looks good but without the lights, they kinda remind me of this:

I like it. But then, I am biased. Non-appearance group body colour bumpers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My 70 had the lights behind the bar type grill. They were busted so I got a used set with the light holes Gordon

I like too. Very nice idea. I like this kind of OE look, but totally custom made parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Very nice!
I might be interested in a set since my oil coolers sit right behind those holes now under the headlight buckets. Why steel instead of Aluminum? And I have a front bumper top that is in a lot better shape than that one wink-wink-nudge-nudge |

And I have a front bumper top that is in a lot better shape than that one wink-wink-nudge-nudge Do you have pics of your oil cooler install? Or a thread that you created on it? Curious to see the install, specs of coolers, results, etc... |
