Wow... that's quiet a concept and truly unique. Looks like you are a sculpter on your off hours. My hat is off to you sir! It would be neat if you could design matching side vents in a similar fashion, to make them look like gills

Thanks Guys. I'm fortunate to have a junk metal yard close by. It took me about two weeks to make this grille. I cut then shape the aluminium. Tape it together,then take it to whoever is avaliable to weld it up. Lots of grinding and hand filing afterwards. Thanks...Squirrel Crusher

Chrysler should have checked with you first.

Are you going to put your old one on EBAY?

Sold the factory grille while back. I retired the over kill Mid Evil Times styled grille. It was just something I thought up,but shouldn't have made. Thinking of hanging it on the wall with a birdnest and moss hanging from it. Squirrel Crusher

OK, I'm sure this must have been asked before, I searched and couldn't find it though ....

1. did you make those little side wings yourself also ?
2. What caliber and what is the rate of fire on the 2 guns you have behind the lower grills ?
( look like 20 mike-mike to me )

And lastly, put me on the list if you decide to make more of those gorgeous grills !

Don, great to see the new grille, you have truly outdone yourself, and I like it much better than the madmax grille . I have finally been able to paint the roof spoiler you crafted and will be putting it on before the dragon

I will send you some pics when it is on...

Right now the lower grille port hole helps cool off the supercharger's water pump. The drivers side lower grille port goes to.... Well nowhere! May install round LED lights in them one day..........The side wings front and back fender spoilers were cut off the ends of two Pontiac GrandAm's rear deck spoilers. Filled with styrafoam <(spelled wrong) then a 1/8th layer of QuickSet50 Epoxy so I would have a good surface area for mounting with body side moulding tape. Squirrel Crusher

Wished I could attend the Spring Dragon. Job has me working over time. I'll be there this Fall. Maybe after taxes I can buy, then totally cut up a new reproduction 1970 Twin Buldge Six Pack Hemi Cuda' Hood. Keep It In The Road......Squirrel Crusher
