Modelbuilder Mark Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Someone said I should give making rat rod tractor grills a shot and so they fired off a couple pickup truck fenders to me to take a swing. I did not want to do a typical horizontal bar tractor grill, so I held off waiting for inspiration, until I just happened to be flipping through my grills and found an Edsel grill, and in popped the idea. Here are a couple, one "from the factory" the other a bit more "used" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george 53 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Crazy ol Chuck Most did this for us about two years ago now. GREAT use of some old pick-up fenders! Now they just gotta build some lawn tractors to put them on, or ol rat rods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelbuilder Mark Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Thanks guys! Glad you like them. I may be building a rat rod/farm hot rod that the blue one would work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Looks very good. I think that AMT had an accessory grill in one of it's early street rod kits that used a '59 Edsel grill and had quad headlights built in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 '32 sedan, that's the one I was thinking of. But I think using a couple of truck fenders to make a grill is still a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
