The pictures of the 1972 Road Runner's on the internet (from the front) are not very detailed with respect to the front grill. The inside portion of the grille seems to almost always be in the dark. BOO! Can anyone possibly please give me the dimensions of the two (left and right) honeycomb portions of the grille? I am looking for height, width, length, set-back from the front edge of bumper, and how many little honeycombs there are per inch, per foot, or however you think we can count them. I would like to see about making a stainless steel version or a version of some other metal. Thank you. I obviously have a lot of time on my hands.

Wow, thanks for the picture. It makes me feel like I'm looking at the Rosetta Stone or something. Just a couple of questions: Is the grille 100% plastic? Is the grille as fragile as it appears to be in the picture? Thanks again for such a closeup shot!
