Request for test fitting grill at the Gathering

Unless I can find the time to get with rwbrooks (Rick) soon, I would like to know if anyone is willing to let me test fit the grill I been sitting on. I would like to see this in a car to see what I need to tweek or do to get it done. Any takers? I brought it once before but never got to mess with it.

 

thats cool. But why not test it on one of your cars? Do they not have fenders on them?

 

He only has Comets......

 

If you have been sitting on it it is probably bent

Heck it is only a few screws I would be a test dummy

 

If I bring mine down you're welcome to fit it up.

 

which gathering and u can try it on mine if u wont mine is wire together now as it is

 

Thanks guys. We'll see which car gets fitted when we are there. Hopeing to fit it to a straight front. I went to fit it to a buddies and there was something crooked. I thought it was his bumper but it was too late in the evening to start trying to see if we could figure it out. It seemed to fit the first car I tried it on when I first started and wanted to go back to that car but he sold it.
Anyway.. There is Gathering info here

I'll be draging my 7o from tulsa ok to huston tx in april. ps im missing the grill have you seen it?

 

There is only one Gathering? This year is in Somerset.

 

You'll probobly be going down 75.. I'm a mile off of 35 in Marietta.. No Mav grills other than this one here

 

And hey, Gene, I still have those wheels and tires.

 

detour .... rerouting dam tomtomill let ya know when im rolin down the highway

 

Gene, I'll be your huckleberry. If it does work out I would be interested in one. What is it cut out of?

 

Lol.. My sons step dad never put the others on. The car sits out in the elements with 2 flats. No respect and no gratitude. They wanted the car to use but too lazy to even put the tires I brought them on it!

The prototype that I am trying to fit is about 1/8 or 14 ga I think. The actual finished one will be 3/16 or 10 ga .. I have it still in the flat state. Wanting to get all the mounting points figured and see if the turn signals are gonna fly or say bye. Also want to see about adding the mesh either recessed back from the face or directly applied to the back of the face. I kinda like the open look so I feel like the recessed is the way I might end up making it. I just don't know what is back there or how far back I can go.

 

there is a lil room about 2 inchs i think
