I like the idea of having an old Ford grille hanging on the wall

 

Wow he hasn`t updated his site in a while. That truck your talking about has been all sold and parted out for over a year. I actually have its bed and tailgate.

Not that I bought the grille but I think its was $150 because the front clip was $700, $300 for the hood and $250 for the fenders.

 

Lol, small world, $150 is a helluva decent price for that grille, considering DC wants $550 when/if they have the correct aluminum to press them out.

 

What about the LMC chrome ones? Any experience with those yet?

If it means anything I bought a cheapo from JC Whitney around 97 or so and it wasn't half bad. It looked alright at least and was presentable. I still have it and will likely hang it up on the garage wall. Even sitting on the side of the garage for 8+ years it still looks ok for wear. Not so much for the bolt holes I mangled removing it!

I bet it would make an awesome wall adornment in ones man cave.

 

I was reluctant to admit it in the previous post, but I have to confess I actually just took that JC Whitney grille to work yesterday to throw into the aluminum scrap bin we keep. The side of my garage has started looking like Sanford & Son and I have started cleaning crap up, either scrapping it, Craigslist or eBay. The grille I didn't even try to sell as the mounting holes got jacked up removing it.

But as the day wore on at work I just couldn't do it, couldn't toss it into the scrap bin so I hung it up above my welding station and it looked pretty cool, so yeah... I'll be bringing it back home to hang up in the garage with some extra grille inserts I have.

You have the addiction, why'd you ever sell your dent anyway, that thing was badass!!

sorry for the hijack OP, i'll check out.....

 

$4 a gallon gas! LOL LongTravelHighboy here on the forums bought it.

Wow, that is rediculously cheap no matter what its made from. Stainless is A LOT tougher than aluminum so if it really is stainless (I doubt it is), its probably actually pretty tough, in my opinion.

 

I'm interested to see how the grill looks and feels. Please post your results with pictures if you can. Has anyone else used the "Off Brands" grill shells?

 

Well I have seen the same product (same brand and all) on other sites as well so I'm kinda hopeful that it is stainless but I also have it in the back of my mind that it isn't and I'm just wishfully thinking it is . Either way, I had to try it.

I plan on posting pictures and letting everybody know. They shipped it very quickly, I had my tracking number for Fed-Ex the next day, so that's a little promising for an off brand product from an online store I have never bought from or heard of. I'm really hoping it's at least a semi-decent product, but either way at least my garage will be redecorated

 

According to my tracking number I will get this tomorrow. I'll keep you guys posted.

 

VERY VERY interested to see how this turns out. Can't wait to hear your opinions

 

So it turns out there is an error in their catalog and it is the grille only, no shell, even though the description clearly states "Stainless steel shell and insert" so when the Fed-Ex man came today, I was disappointed when I got the package and it was just the insert. I am getting my money refunded, shipping and all for their error.

Lesson learned guys.

Well now at least I can buy an HVLP spray gun for my first paintjob on the dent with the money from that.

 

Bummer! I was looking forward to it being a decent shell for the price! Haha. Oh well.
