    SUPER NICE GUY!! That is one tedious project . Much applause for your talent and determination. Got any idea how many hours you have in it ?

    I made the grill on the computer using a program called Rhino.

    I then sent the computer file to a water/laser cutting outfit. I did the shaping on a press using a die with a slightly smaller diameter to account for the spring reaction of the metal and shazam!

    Looks fantastic, great work! If you can also make the crank-hole cover I will put my name on the list for one.

    Sweet! Wanna do a '37 grille next??? Actually, mine is in great shape, overall, but it seems to be the exception!



    Ironman, is your car the one that was on ebay a few months ago, in New York, maybe? If it is, you got that for a great price! I was soooo tempted to bid on that one, too!

    Hi patrick,

    Yes I bought it on ebay acouple months ago I thought it was a good deal, the engine only has 200 miles on it. I used to have a 37 Hudson 8 70 series with a table that folded out in front of the back seat, It was a great I always liked the Terraplanes and snatched this one up. Making a 1937 Grill is a totaly different proccess because they are seporate vertical bars, I would need one for a model since I don't have one kicking around.

    My 36 grill is now installed in the suround and looks good, when I put it on the car I'll post pics.

    I did cut out four of them, if you need one I could do it not sure what to charge.

    Here's one last set of photos. Trying to show the detail it's hard when you scale down the file size, I think these do a better job.

    That's really nice, any reason they could'nt be used on a 37 except they are not correct ?
