Q...thanks for this. I may actually have a go at it. I made a whole lot of aluminum 'bits' for mine, including the custom gearshift knob you can see in one of my posted pics of the interior, so this would be an interesting challenge. This sounds like a project for a rainy day/week/month!!! How long did it take you?

Yip, that's about how long it takes. Day /week/ month depending on how many friends pop in, how many blades break and how many times you have to redo things. Adding just one last pic them I'm out of here.

Showing the curved finish on the grille. For more Stainless creations have a look at my album. Sample attached.

I bought some 1/4" SS mesh from Pegasus. It's attached to the radiator, with a central spacer to kerep it off the core. You have to look close to see it; most people don't notice it.

It's catches a lot of bugs and rubber at the track. Hitting a chunk of rubber at over 120mph can really do some damage to the radiator core. But every one of my fins is still as straight as the day I installed it.

Very simple, yet very effective. And cheap. I like cheap.

Don't have the car any more but made a grill out of over head flourescent lamp diffuser. Quarter inch squares, by quarter inch deep used hooks off existing screw holes to pull it forward against the opening. Made out of aluminum and comes powder coated. May have a picture in the for sale section back in June 2007( black/ silver striped FFR)?
