Wheels Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 I'm wanting to build a model of my '98 S-10. The only thing holding me back is the grille. Does anyone know if anybody cast a '98 grille in resin? Thanks,
Casey Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 This question comes up often in the Resin section, but nobody casts that grille.
jeffs396 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Mark, you've got the skills to scratch your own grille to match your 1:1! And you've got accurate reference material
Wheels Posted March 3, 2012 Author Posted March 3, 2012 Thanks for the vote of confidence Jeff. I guess I'll have to give that a try. I don't own the vehicle any longer but I do have photos and one of my co-workers owns a '98 S-10.

Wheels Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 I purchased this S-10 body off of ebay when I noticed the grille on it. Someone posted here a while back about a custom grille for the S-10 in a particular kit. Does anyone have any idea what kit that might be? None of the S-10 kits I have has a grille like this. Could it be from the AMT Sonoma kit? I measured a friend's '98 S-10 grille as I'm ready to build my 1:1 p/u truck. I'll compare those measurements to see how close this grille is the the stock '98 grille. It shouldn't be hard to convert to a stock '98 grille. Here's a couple photos.

Nick Winter Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 that is the grille included in the AMT Sonoma's, If you do get it cast I certainley would buy one ('01 S10 in the driveway)
