I wish someone would craft a custom grille for the '69-70's (it would fit 71-2's) that was complimentary of the original design, but also incorporated some of the styling of the newer (99-up) design. I have an idea, but if you don't have the ability to imagine what I mean, you wouldn't like it. I'm perfectly happy with my original grille, but I'd just like to see what a good designer (Carter Hickman, for example) would do with it. Some of his artwork is spot-on in that way, but I'd just like to see something that could be reproduced and not be off the affordability chart.

Here's one he did for Porterbuilt. It is a combination of '67-8, with some heavy 69-70 flavor and a touch of 99-00 SS.
