I wanted a merc grill, like from a '52. The bad news is, those are a good chunk of change for a grill in "good" (shity IMO) condition. Its pot metal cast and that makes restoration a bit costly. I've even looked at just buying a set of teeth. I'll probubly start cutting and welding proto type grills soon... ..in my spare time... lmao.

Those arent to costly. | | | Re: I'm in the Garage!

Not nearly as costly as the desoto's and IMO looks much cooler. I messured, it will fit ;-) the '53-57 corvette grills are 40" wide 7-1/2" tall in the center
