No, 33 and 34 are different, though Nottingham's piece is very nice.
Bart, you need to put some pics of your car in your gallery so we can access them by clicking the camera icon under your name. I had to search back a ways to find some of the pics you put up...........not a complaint, just a suggestion to make it easier for folks to help.
Those three are inserts intended for either fiberglass shells or stockers that have the bar portion cut out (as you probably know the original is one piece stamping, well, accept for the bracing inside). Of the three, Fink is probably the best, though I've not heard complaints about the others. They're each made of aluminum or stainless so welding them to your steel outer shell wouldn't be practical. By the time you paid for the insert and had the deal replated (unless you intent to paint the outer), you'd be up to the cost of the repop original style. If you went that way you'd make a mechanical mounting system. Drake makes a pretty nice repop '34 grille you might want to look at.Last edited by Bob Parmenter; 02-14-2010 at 07:17 AM.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
