I know it more then just a little bubba, but for 25. bucks in parts and grille, I thought I would give it a try and see what it would look like.
Actually looks better then the picture shows. I still need to paint the area behind the grille to blacken the area out.
I'm still debating if I going to leave it on, I may until big632 comes out with his center grilles.
Now, yall don't hurt yourselves falling out of yalls chair laughing.
i used that spray tint for the lenses and i sprayed the grills with black paint...... i like the blacked out look..... might have to see if the big32 grill will go with my scheme
where did you find one for 25 bucks? hell of a find rick!!
It's one of those grillmates, I got it off of ebay. Made to fit a 75-79 Corvette. I got it for $8.70 and 8.00 shipping. I had to make a bracket for it, the holes to mount it did not line up for a 73, and as you can see it not a perfect fit like your's. Looks better on the vette then the picture, but it was cheap enough to try. I'll replace it when big632 makes his grillea avaliable. The grillmate is pretty strong, a rock hitting it would not do any damage to it, like breaking it, it plastic, but it solid, meaning that the grill louvers are not open as you can see compared to the LH RH grilles.
Oh. and thinks carl for the paint tip. I went to Home Depot and bought some of that matallic paint and dressed the edge of the grillemate, they were black and you could not see the detail of the grillemate louvers, the paint made it look closer to the 73 grille.
Doesn't compare to the real thing, yours looks great.
I need one. How much are you willing to sell it for? I just need it for our race car and whould paint it black. Or do you have a link?
I just happen to get a deal and was high bidder on this Grillmate. Regular price is $39.95 but this was a NO RESERVE AUCTION.
Here is a link to one of his auctions for the grillmate, but Ecklers also sells them, so if your going to be ordering anything from Eck, you could save on some of the shipping.
