Custom Grills, Lets see what you got!

O.K., I am in the works of some major changes on my 56, and am putting in a custom grill, would love to see any pics that you have of your custom grills. I know to some this may be the move of an antichrist, but the dark side is calling!

This is always interesting, but there was a thread for this just about 6 months ago! Unfortunately I didn't save it to post. Oh well.

I know this will probably start the big "buck tooth" thing from the guys with Baylene front grill trucks, but I have a:

3 Tooth 51 grill for stock:

Name:  Three Bullet Grille (0).jpg

Size:  99.9 KB

5 Tooth 51 grill currently installed for coolness:

Name:  O3 April 2009.jpg

Size:  73.7 KB

and a 7 Tooth 51 grill for eating Rice Burners!!!

Name:  7 Tooth Grille.jpg
Views: 1243

All are quick disconnect wiring and held on with wing nuts (welded bolts headlight buckets) 5 minute swap out!

I think I have posted these photos before, but here they are again. These two panels were former people's choice winners at the F100 Supernationals in years past. I've got a lot of old photos of F100's with custom grilles, but they are on slides and I haven't taken the time to go through them.





I have mildly modified one of my grilles that I plan to use, but looking through my build album, I see that no photos have be made. I'll get pictures tomorrow.

I really like Julies idea for the quick change grilles. I've got 3 different grilles that I would like to use.
