Super stock grill

[Basoline]

Does anyone know the trick of how to convert my original, 4 headlight grill into a superstock grill?

I have some spare grills, no spare headlight bezels though...

I believe they just used pieces from another grill to cover the headlight. That's why (if you look closely) those pieces don't fit properly

 

[Basoline]

Yeah I know but maybe there's some 'golden rules' (do's and don'ts)...

uuummm.....don't cut up a perfect grill?

Yea as far as I have heard they just cut a section out of another grille and used it. Maybe e-mail Mosher's and ask them if there is any tricks. Ron

The real deal

If tow grilles were put together you sure cant see it on a real 64 Hemi

I can just barely see how they did it.........Nice work, and a mean look those boys got.

I long for the day of real style and class again. :grin:

Well, i'm fortunate to have multiple grills so...there's some room for error. I mailed Bob Mosher but he doesn't respond (which I understand).The only thing I DONT have is some extra light bezels...hmmm

Ebay has them all the time. price varies.

The 64 Plymouth S/S grille in the thread looks excellent, but the 1965 Dodge Coronet grille work's it a little different. Do you have pictures as guide....I would assume you do.

Basoline, If you have a problem getting bezels email me and I will help. I have sent parts to Sweden so its no big deal. Post cant be that much for two piece's of Alum.

Call King of Trim in or look up their website. They did Bill Goldbergs grill for his 65 s/s Cornet clone.

@62BT409: I don't have pictures for guidance.

@rlpagan: thanks! Liquid means are a little low now so I'll just wait until the end of the month or find a acceptable set on Ebay...and yes, prices vary...

Before cutting up good stuff, I want to be sure how to handle things and since all is made of aluminium, that's quite delicate...
