Front Grill

[Guest lardy-fatboy]

stood in the garage the other day and looked at the grill,what can i do with that i thought.

stood in the corner was an old ironing board i didnt want to throw away so a cunning plan was hatched......

 

old ironing board,

cable tied and tack welded in position onto the original Robin Hood grill,

trimmed and tidied up

undercoated and ready to paint black

 

i think its looking good so far.......

Very nice, quality workmanship there.

 

Just keep a close eye on your engine temp on your first run, it could restrict airflow

as others have found out when using the pressed mesh for a grill.

Just what I did.

 

Didn't use an ironing board though; bought some mesh from B&Q

 

NO overheating problems whatsoever and my grill mesh is smaller

 

Now give some thought to painting a design

Snap or snaf as the case may be; stainless steel mesh overlaid with "F" & sprayed

well finally painted and fitted

 

 

the air flow should be fine there not that small really,about 10-12mm each hole.

 

i think black will be fine for now unless i find some silver paint kicking about.

 

might finish the edges off though as i have found some rubber trim at work.

Looks good with mesh I like the idea of painting it to individual styles. I have been playing around with mine no mesh yet just the 'zero' name added, what do you think?

I just got this grill off a member on here and painted it. My car is yellow with a green nose so the outside of the yellow 7 is actually green then the outer black. I used the little Humbrol enamel paints. I actually had a devil of a time locating these! What happenned to all those model shops we as boys visited? Anyway I think it looks cool and just letting the paint harden then on for the weekend!
