I saw this grille on Clifford Read's awesome 60s style 55 chevy. I feel like I've seen this grille on other custom cars and drag cars from this era. What is the name of this grille and how would I go about making it?PC090261.thumb.JPG.314d0e51225c130d01eaeba69516b7fb.jpeg.6ff4666c7ff47fe0b6c41458eff8bb24.jpeg

it looks like the 55 grille surround with a couple of bars added in place of the grille

Looks like that's exactly what it is.

easy to do, just ground all the grille mesh out of the surround and add a couple bars. I'd suggest thin aluminum tubing or rod for the bars.

A fairly common grill modification on '55 Chevys. The grill bars were all individually attached to the outer grill frame and could be removed as desired. Remember seeing some interesting designs that could be done easily in your driveway at home, with a beverage to help think of a design.
