Thread: I am building a 32 grill----Wanna Watch????

Tweet

O.K. Guys and Gals---I promised you a picture of the finished product---Here it is. It fits perfect, and looks better than the picture actually shows. The total cost of this 32 style grill ended up at less than $30, and I am well satisfied with it. I have always heard that you couldn't run a 32 style grillshell on a Model A without a V'eed headlight bar, and its true----sort of. That headlight bar in the picture is a crusty old fleamarket survivor, and it is setting in the stock position and it is not V'eed. There is room to get a cigarette paper between the center grill bar and the headlight bar, and thats about all. The previous 2 rods I built had custom headlight stands, so I have never actually seen this before, only heard about it. Thanks for following my posts. Brian ---- Looking at this post 5 years later, it just makes me squirm all over to see how crooked that old headlight bar was. I won a roomfull of trophies with that ugly thing in place before I finally got rid of it and put on a dropped and V'ed stainless aftermarket headlight bar last winter.

and a better shot

Brian, it looks GREAT! The stock bar looks well proportioned with the tall grill shell and your work on the grill is also great. Today I received my dropped stainless headlight bar from Speedway for the '29 shell on my phantom car which is a pile of parts in boxes, and I think the dropped bar will work OK with the lower '29 shell. Well I took a brief summer job again this year to pay off the Bebops body, last year was to pay the machine shop bills for the 350 SBC rebuild, but maybe by September I will have some pictures with the body on and then I will know whether I did the right thing using the dropped bar.
