20s - 30s Grilles?

[mopargreg]

Im am currently building some 20’s & 30’s hotrods, like 32 ford sedan etc & have everything I need for the builds but some front grilles, ie the grille surround & radiators. I don’t care what make they are from, ford chev etc just something that will suit the 20’s & 30’s cars. Does anyone produce these parts in resin or whatever/ I noticed Model car garage has some but they are probably a bit fancy for what Im doing. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

I think you would find that most builders will pirate these parts from other kits, as we call "kitbashing". What kits do you have? What grilles do you like? Many builders have a wide variety of kits, and some of these kits would have both a stock and a custom grille. Tell us what your situation is.

Thanks for your reply Jon. Ive already gone through my kits I have here & came up with nothing. The 30's kits I have only had one grill & has been already used. Im pretty open to either stock or modified as what im building is more a ratrod with all the parts used pilfered from various kits. I probably would prefer a stock grille though if I could choose. I may have to go with a modelcar garage grille if nothing else turns up. If someone knows of any other manufacturers of grilles please let me know

Replicas & Miniatures Co. has just about any thing you could want from that period. Norm Veber is a great guy to deal with and his castings are very good. His number is 410-768-3648. He sells his catalog for $4.00. If you tell him what you need and place an order over the phone with a credit card just ask for the catalog and he'll throw it in with the order.

You can also e-mail Norm at replmincomd@aol.com. No web site though and as far as I know he doesn't have soft copy catalogs.
