I recently acquired an Original '32 Grill shell with all the trim, and radiator, but its missing the Grille insert. Several years ago I came across a company that was selling inserts suitable for a street rod, but not collectors or show quality, for a reasonable price, I think around 100 bucks.  I can find the original replacement type for $295-$310 all day long.  Does anyone know about the outfit I'm referring to??

Thanks, Dusty

If I remember right vintique (spelling) had the cheaper ones but ill bet  ya cant find one for a hundred bucks now days. I remember buying one for my 30 sedan that i put a speedway glass grille shell on and it was a little over a hundred but that was 10? years ago ... Like everything else the prices went up..

Dusty  I've got one if you're interested. Haven't looked at it for quite a while, but seems to me that it was in nice shape. Let me know, and I'll dig it out.

If a blind person wears sunglasses, why doesn\'t a deaf person wear earmuffs??

I bought mine from Yogi's.  Seems like it was around 90 bucks about 2 years ago.  It was just a chunk about 2 feet by three feet and I had to cut it to fit.  I think it would fit almost any non-fat thirties car.  Looks a lot better that the rusty old OE one that was in it.

Hey Benny how about posting a good picture of your car in the avatar?  Looks interesting.   Thanks!

Dusty      Finally got a chance to have a look at that 32 grille. It is in real nice shape, nothing bent or twisted, just dusty, dusty :wink:  If I knew how to email a picture, I would. I'm going to the Detroit show next weekend if that's any help.
