Is that red anodizing or powder?

I need a grille as well. I will get one as soon as you have them ready, Tony.

Hey Ryan, I will probably send you a new set of shrouds as I do not think those will fit the new apron. What problems did you encounter mounting those up? I think you said the a-arms hit. But these are 1/2" higher than the old ones so I do not think I can fix that.

Mounting them up was no problem. The one hole was about 3/4" off at the top, but you told me that before you sent them. They did hit the a-arms, so I grabbed the bottom front corner and pushed them up which bent everything slightly upward. I also took a hammer and bent the edge/corner up just a little til it cleared. Whatever you end up with, I'm sure I can make it work either way. :friendly_wink:

That was the anodized red color the run we made 15 years ago ended up being. There are just not enough of these made to get them anodized different colors. If I was making a 100 pieces it would be no problem. It is more economical for you to send them to powder along with your other build parts. It was a $100 minimum for any color 15 years ago. Many parts were damaged in the process also. But back then there were 6 people working here. Now its just me.

I would be fine with raw material. I have a great local powder coater! Let me know when these grille/apron sets are available, I am definately ALL IN on a set!

I pulled the shrouds off the 88 and put them on a bare frame to get a couple pics with a grill I made for Higgy 5 years ago

Oh yeah, and a top view so you can see that shrouds are fit to the top of the radiator also. There are not any other shrouds that do this.

Working on the grill and apron. The lip needs to be bent up a few more degrees. To get the correct angle of the apron a strip is placed flat along the plain you want to end up at and bend to meet where you want the flange to start. The white strip is the one I'm working with. The apron will get the same bend.
