[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Ideas for 78 Gremlin grill replacement

["paxiljunki" <paxiljunki@xxxxxxxxx>]

Terry,

I like both of these ideas.  I will have to see if any of the local hardware stores have the plastic grid in stock so I can get a better vision of what it will look like.

My biggest mistake with the metal mesh was painting it black.  It made it see-through, with a clear view of the radiator.  

Thanks!

Jen

Years ago in my mothers old house she had a drop ceiling in the house. When she had central air and heat put in the house they took out one of the twoxfour squares and put in a 2x4 plastic grid. Then they use to use a grid for florescent lights years ago. Another suggestion would be leave what you have in there and get you three or four chrome bars and run across the front of it. I was thinking of shower curtain rods but they might be too big. I know a hundred years ago it seems now my brother had a 49 Ford and someone gave him a bunch of round chrome drawer knobs and he made a grill out of them. Unfortunately our front end is different from the rest so while I might be wrong only a 77 or 78 will fit.
