Home made grille?

[speedfreak68]

Has anyone ever made a grille for their charger? I'm thinking of building something along the lines of the factory for my 68 but a little different. The grille I have would be good for a parts grille at best, and I don't really feel like paying what they are selling for to replace it. Just curious, If you have any pics or input post away.

If you've got the skills, i'd say go for it!  Why not?

Lol, I don't know that I have the skills, But I just might be willing to give it a try. I was hoping someone had done this previously and I could see some ideas lol

I thought of running keystock across the openings in a contoured frame and taking a pic just to piss people off, lol.  I think it could be done, as long as it goes with the overall theme of the car.  You will no doubt get harped on a ton, but if you like it, it looks good, and fits the car I think it is fine....your car, you make the calls.  Definitely keep us posted on what you come up with, I'd like to see it.

There's a screwy-looking example floating around Ebay:

That's actually not that bad looking considering some of the other ill-attempts I've seen.

You must have seen some pretty bad ones then.

Seriously though, why screw with the car's design? It's not going to improve anything. Other than wheels and tires or paint I've never seen a design change on a second gen that has made it look better.

  thats true

Well, As far as customizing the grille, has anyone ever took a 500 grille and made it set back like the factory 68 does? I did some searching and didn't really come up with anything.... I agree with you about the looks, but my car has a broken up 69 grille in it..... and nice 68 ones are real pricy.....

You could always put a 68 Coronet grill in it ??
