Ok the grill on my 67 is probably going to be one of my next projects. However I do not want to go with the factory look. I want to keep the outer shell but want to do something to fill in the open space. I really like the way the billet grills look but I can't find one for a 67. Does anyone have any ideas or seen something that looks really trick. Post pics if you have them please. Thanks in advance.

You need to make one.Get a grill for a 71-72 a cut it to fit.The bend is very close to the same as a 67-68

I think there was a 67/68 phantom grille used on one of those high-buck trailer queens but it still fell short of the original IMO. I think that's why you don't see them as an aftermarket item as it looks out of place on the 67/68. On a 71/72 grille it looks okay, maybe you should switch to that style?
But if you're hell-bent on destroying one of the finest looking grilles ever made (next to the GMC of course ![]() ![]()

![]() FYI, I was just having a little fun with ya. But the Edsel grille WILL make it stand out. You may want to find a 67/68 grille that has a damaged center bar since you'll be cutting it out. That way you'll have your original (assuming undamaged) to go back to or sell it for some $$. Just a thought.
