Suggestion. After you get the initial plate done and are ready to move on to the next thing, I would post up a thread and take a poll to see where the interest lyes for specific parts. (grille, hood, interior trim....) These parts should be something you could work on fairly quickly (completed within a few weeks) vs something that would be a bigger project (takes months to fabricate...etc). This would help keep interest alive and business as well. Just my 2 worthless cents

That is a very nice grille. I think that would sell like crazy around here...all models.

it has been raining a like crazy here so I haven't been able to do any work on the radiatior block off plate. I am also looking for a OEM grill that I could mold so I don't have to use mine if anyone has.

here is a quick update,
I put off the block off plate, the disign of the grill works well to act as a block off. There are some areas that could be worked to improving cooling so I will address these when I make the grill. As for the drive shafts, I would love to meke them but I don't have the facilities to make them properly. There has been non-stop rain here so I haven't been able to get anything done, I will keep progress posted.

What is the approx price range you are looking at for the grille?

I need to know because I have some spare CF and a spare grille. I might just cover the one I have if this new one is too expensive.

It will be cheaper if you cover your grill. These will be a full replacement. I haven't determined the price as of yet.
