? on recent post about billet grills....

I was thinking about getting just the standard billet grill(e?) for my 74. I read the posts on the full phantom grills, what about the regular inserts?? What does everyone recommend? Stull, CarrigeWorks, Trenz?? I want the best looking (straightest) one possible & I'm willing to spend the extra if needed.

Let me know what you guys think.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I paid about $116 for my Stull here in town. Quality is great, some of the "fins" could have been straighter, but really no complaints. I would recommend it.

Because you are the only one who likes weird lights.

Mine is a stull just like the ones above, not phantom. I recommend them.

I really like mine, but I dont know the manufacturer. My uncle found it for me in a pawn shop off the beaten path for $50 about 4 yrs ago. I does need to be rechromed though. See the four pic in my sig.

The only phantom grille that I like is on the 81-87 Aim or Chasis Tech truck called the "The Look". I see it in their ad every once and awhile.
