Has anyone ever seen someone modify the 71-74 grill and remove the center divider, to make is resemble a 1970 charger grill? Would that even be possible? I think the grill would look really cool without the divider and with the hideaway headlights, for that completely blacked out look in the front.

Don't get me wrong i love the 3rd gen grill, but I think this could be a cool aftermarket option if they made a fiberglass grill without the divider in the middle and hideaways.

You give me a 71 grill and ill fab one up for you... I have a whole load of fiberglass and resin from when I was going to make airflow guides for the rad on my Z.  I already have a 73 Chrome surrounding to use as a template I donno I think it could look sweet.

 To me the most intimidating grill is on the 1968 charger without the divider like the 1969 or the 71-74. The 1970 Challenger also had that intimidating look in the front.
