I searched google and it pulled up a grill with bullet-like segments added to the front of it.. maybe just glue bullets to the front like they are coming out of the grill ?

Sorry, its supposed to be "billet" not "bullet"...auto correct on my phone always screws things up! Ok, what I'm building is the 69 shelby gt500 and I want to put a billet grill in it like the one Eleanor has of Gone in 60 Seconds, just wondering if anyone has any info on how go make one...

Yat Ming makes a 1/24 diecast Eleanor. You might be able to rob it for parts.

Looks like someone already stole the grille out of that one.

Billet grilles are fairly easy to make. Each model and grille is different, so unless you could find a tutorial on building a Mustang grille, you're pretty much outta luck. Just think about how a real grille would be made and go from there. The best way to learn is to apply your ideas. Get yourself some .010-.020 styrene and some 1/16 rod and the rest will come to you.

That's a great tutorial...it looks pretty similar to one offing a 1:1 grille.

That is the worst replica of Eleanor I have ever seen. Tires are out of scale and lacks detail. Now if Franklin Mint or Danbury Mint ever produced one i'd buy it.

No kidding. That's why I said it could be robbed for parts, and I certainly wouldn't have one for a display model.
