Custom grill ideas July 24, 2007, 09:46:00 AM I've been working on making a custom grill for my bird. I just started. I was thinking of different centers to put into the grill area. Here are some pics of what I've done so far. That center must go. And now its gone. I was thinking about a mesh style grill. I've also thought about a tube style. Anyone have any Ideas what else might look good. Quote Selected
Custom grill ideas Reply #1 – July 24, 2007, 10:01:14 AM Sweet! Good job so far. It's fun to mess around with that.I don't know if this will help you, but here goes anyway:It's a painted horizontal billet-style grille from waaayyyyy back in tha day (cover of an old Hot Rod issue). Haven't seen anyone do that yet.Mesh is nice, provided you paint the insides surfaces of the grille black.Not sure about a tube grille. Quote Selected
