Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Ideas for 78 Gremlin grill replacement

No reproductions that I know of. All the thing is five horizontal slats and about ten vertical slats. If you knew some one that was good with a jig saw and a lot of patience you could cut one our of 1/2 inch plywood paint in silver and no one would know but it would be a lot of work. I really don't have any ideas but there is nothing fancy about it at all.

When I obtained my 78 Gremlin it was already missing the plastic grill. A previous owner had used some thin sheet metal to make a junky replacement, but its design didn't let any air hit the radiator. I created a junky replacement out of diamond mesh - it allows air flow and holds the turn signal lights, but looks like crap.

I've seen 78 grills sell for hundreds of dollars on eBay. Is there a less expensive option? Does anyone sell a reproduction? I'm not restoring the car to original, so a creative solution is also welcome.

I appreciate all the suggestions I've gotten on the forum for other replacement parts. The ACC carpet was excellent and easy to install.

Thanks!
