Any Custom 68-72 Front Grilles?
I did a search and didn't come up with much.
I HATE the plastic 3 piece inserts and those two tiny little blinker light on my '69.
When I was installing it all last weekend I thought when everything is out the front looks similar to the modern vette's.
I would think a 1 piece grill would look sweet....
Don't worry about how ugly my vette is.....it's a work in progress still!!!!
Or I could go crazy sometime and make a shark teeth grill...

I'm kind of surprised. I would think with all the mods people do this one would seem pretty easy and make a significant difference in appearance.
Maybe some day I'll actually do it...

See my sites below, you can find some pix of the front of my '72...

Click on Mrvette's user name, and under his profile you can view the pictures on his shutterfly account.
I've looked into custom grilles too. I think a one piece would look good. I know it's been done before, but they don't seem to be mass produced.
Some grille makers will do custom work, and I found one that would cut a grille to your specs.

I haven't made it to the bodywork phase yet, but I've been looking at options. Disclaimer: I have not used the above vendor, just post the link as an example of available services.
