58 ford grill

[cuppy65]

So this ford grill has been hanging on the wall for 20 plus years. God forgive me, I cut it up!
I think I found my alpine grill!
What do you all think?

Gives it an aggressive "shark" like look in my humble opinion. There are many puristists out there, but I kinda like it!!!

Your front jack stands scare me. Please don't work under the car with those blocks.

Yeah, jack stands are a bit scary looking.
While I am kind of a purist myself, there's a lot of nice modified stuff out there.
I like the grill. I made one similar to that myself that I ran with for a while. Then switched it out for original once the "purist" mode kicked back in. Good luck with your project.

It does look unsafe but no worries. I can shake it as hard as I can and it does not move and I will not be under it!
I've always been a purist myself and I have a nice original grill. I was just foolin around this morning and cut this down and I really like the look. If I don't alter anything the next guy can easily put the original grill on.

We had this altered to fit our way. The wife termed it "shark teeth" before the alterations.

Ditto the stands.

As far as the grille, I kind of like it. Gives me another idea though. Can you give me a outline trace actual size?

I like the look of the 58 grill myself! ... Have thought about a 58 ford hood scoop on a Alpine ... How 'bout this one that was advertised awhile back, might gag a purist ...

 

[Jimjordan2]

Uh...…….……….No!!!!! Not for me.
