Re: POLL: Which grill should I run?

I am a HUGE fan of the 73-74 grills, that was the first thing I did on my 80 was put a 74 grill in it. Reminds me of the 70 Camaro's for some reason.

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"

Re: POLL: Which grill should I run?

Well, I think in the end I am going to go back with the OG black grille, but being that it is in Oregon (with my Suburban) it will have to wait until I make a trip back down there. In the mean time, I did this:

The weather sucks and it is dark out right now so hopefully I'll have some pics of it installed tomorrow.


How about that?

Re: POLL: Which grill should I run?

The 2nd grille you posted looks the best on the squarebodies IMO.

Re: POLL: Which grill should I run?

That looks pretty good, and good choice on the OG blacked out. You've inspired me, I pulled my stock 79 grille out today, gonna paint the inner parts black, and I'll leave the vertical and horizontal bars silver...at least to see what it looks like, till I can afford a chrome one, lol

I like the OG Black but I'm a bit biased...
