Phyllis said the same thing. You will have to ask Tomz9c1. I am just borrowing it to see if it looked good. - silverfox103 wrote:

| The Olds grill would look great if the mesh portion wasn't as wide. Maybe someone should fill it in a bit so it matches the width of the hood lines and then see how it looks. | |

Plenty of aftermarket grilles out there. The best one is a basic Impala grille but instead of the bowtie it has a circle with SS like the old cars used to run. | |

That's custom. I think it was Ant's grille. Just cut out the cross bar and fiberglass the v-cut on either side and then lay in some mesh. It's alot harder than it looks so you'll have that going for you  | |

I am to busy (and lazy) to be making stuff right now. | |

| Most of the aftermarket ones suck. The few that are cool are way overpriced. I'm pretty sure someone was making the ss grille minus the center bar, but it was pretty expensive.

| I don' know. I've considered turning the Buick into an Olds but the "Premium American Motorcars" on the owners manual kept me lol. I think with the center section painted it would look sharp | |
