Please Help with Grill

Hello guys I just finished painting my 72 step side and I really want a tube grill. Some thing that looks like a billet you get the idea. Any help tracking one down would be helpful thanks guys. I need to post some pics I want to see what others think.

Ditto that. I've been trying to imagine up something I could build myself, nothing yet. :-)

Very. 78-9 have the large 'fish mouth' (my term) grille insert. AFAIK, 71 & 72 share a unique grille insert shape. 72 DOES use a different insert than 71, but I think they are the same shape.

I'm making inserts for my 70 and 72 using hexagonal pattern stamped steel, 1/4" holes with 3/16" material. Once I'm done, I'm going to send them out to be powdercoated black, but since they are steel they could be chromed too. I just think that tube grills have a cheap 80's look to them.
