Waddington's 34 Roadster Ute shown on another post runs a new Rottleib hood from the states. They are very nice indeed, beautiful fit and I believe available in various styles. The grille is made in Bendigo (That is just over an hour up the road from you!) and a steel reproduction. Deuce Customs has glass ones available. Give Kelvin a call at Waddington's Street Rods and Restos in Castlemaine and ask him the details for the grille info.

Thanks Dave I worked in Bendigo for a couple of years and it is just a quick trip up the road for me.
I had seen grills on Drakes US site but would need to mortgage the house to afford one Appreciate the info cheers Col

If your doing a 34 consider a 33 grille.. They look a lot better than the 34. Of course im state side but I had a downs on my 34 and it came out great. Hercules motor car used to do 34 hoods and they were kick azzzzz but ive heard they quit the hood business.

I think you're right, but I cannot remember who was making the fibreglass hoods just south of Sydney.  Was it Vintec (Vinteck?)?

I think you're right PD. Bills grilles makes glass surround/ss insert grilles.

Pays to buy the Aussie rod mags. Most all these people advertise there.
