New grille

[Ray Reynolds]

Hated the original grille so I made my own. Cut out the bars, added mesh, filled the gaps and painted the center black with the outer edge gun metal. 1st pic new one,2nd pic how it started out.

Do you have any pictures of the back side, how did you adhere the mesh. Some sort of epoxy also is the mesh some sort plastic or metal, were did you source it.
I like the different look of it and now have ideas running in my head.

I don't have any. Honestly didn't think I'd get the great reaction I've gotten to it. The mesh is plastic I got on eBay, picture below, And used Fusor 143 to glue it all together

Looks killer. That factory grill is one of the worst ones they made.

I really like that grille. My grille broke a while back when I hit a cow and I have been contemplating doing some kind of expanded metal/mesh upgrade. I really like how yours turned out.

Yeah, that looks great.

Usually, do-it-yourself Grill projects go to shit, but yours came out real good. looks like a factory Grill off a 92 or 93 OBS, if I'm remembering correctly

What's a 92 or 93 OBS?

This....except they have revised the super duty platform so now the last generation could be called OBS. Not sure why people use that term since it really only applies once they have changed a body style one time. Like when they went from the '92-'97 ford body style to the super duty but now the super duty has changed again. Same applies to the Chevy since it has been changed several times now since what people refer to as an OBS Chevy.

I was trolling him a bit because I hate that term. It's a gmt400 gmt800, gmt900, gmt355, or whatever.
