I've been working on my 37 GMC-taking off the body parts and fixing what needs fixed, inner door sturcture, rockers, latches ect. So I got to the radiator housing I fixed the bottom where it was smashed in pretty bad. The grill itself was in bad shape and missing some parts. Below you will see what I came up with to replace the grill-it's not completly done,just setting in there-but you get the idea. I plan on making a skull for the hood right above this and some bone hands to hold the head lights-you guys think this is too twisted???

I dig that ALOT, that is a sweet idea!
Sure looks like my unknown grille shell... hmmm, I wonder if what I have is a GMC grille..

Thanks-I did some more work on it last night-the tail bone area. I'll post some more pix-gonna be gone for a week or so-vacation!!!!
 
.....if ya had one! :eek:

Personally I've always thought those early GMC grilles looked kinda 'mish mashed'.......like thy couldn't decide which way they wanted the bars to run :confused:[S

I like the creativity on the 'rib cage' grill TF! Kinda "Boneheadesque" [S Is that even a word? :D

Thanks!-I've checked out boneheads work-that's quite a compliment.
 
Did some more work last night-I've got a little more to do yet-but for the most part it's this is how it's gonna be. Really all that's left is the top mount needs finished-I re-inforced the upper and lower areas where the spine mounts-cause this things kinda heavy. I also made it so you can remove it-but the mounts are pretty much hidden-I plan on using leather laces to make it look as though it's just tied to the grill housing.
