Let me expand. That grill on the blue/white truck has such a close design, that it appears to be nearly solid. It kinda throws it out of proportion. I'm not against the idea, just that particular grill just doesn't do anything for me. Guess I see my Gramma's car, she had a Galaxy (I think) with that grill when I was a kid.

This the one you're using, Comet? This would work!

Screw the grill, I want the whole car. The red one that is.

I am not a fan of custom grilles for these trucks. In fact until I saw Elpolako's up in Pamona a couple years ago, I never saw one I liked. That 63 Galaxie grille looks great on galaxies, but it just doesnt have quite the right shape for the slick.
