53 Stock Grill
I need to replace my grill on my 53, are the aftermarket ones close to fitting or do you need to do a lot of tweeking and bending to get them to fit?
wITH THAT SAID WHO SELL THE BEST CHROME GRILL? Is one brand better than the other or are they all made by the same source?

Re: 53 Stock Grill
I can't answer to fit but I believe that there is only one stamper of the grilles. Some items are only done by one company due to the low volume of sales. Roof skins are the same way. So it comes down to who do you get the best service and price from.

Re: 53 Stock Grill
Thanks Dave, that was my thoughts but I just started looking for the "last" parts for my build and thought I would ask.

Re: 53 Stock Grill
Has anyone used a grill from Chev's of the 40's?
How does it fit, would you recommend them? Are they detailed like the ad states?
