Bullseye

You are absolutely right... it's more my fault than anything... It's just that 5am was looming and I was glad to call it "finishied", but of course I really wanted to say ".... for the day"... It's not the first time... I take things for granted and skip a couple of steps in my thinking, as I present them in my writing.

Also, thanks for being honest.... i would expect nothingless.

OK... I did a little more tinkerign today... pushed the grille in a little... now it's flush, and YOU ARE RIGHT, it looks FAR better. My original conception wa definitely faulty, and version 1.1(beta) is far better. No pics yet.... hopefully tomorrow.

In fact, I think I may finally have done it today, something is definitely broken now, will post in the "my car is smoking" thread. Gettign really frustrated.

BTW: "doh" on my part WRT to the "fabric" term.

it looks like those mesh u use at a BBQ....

paint it black.... maybe it'll be better

 

I have not featured any pictures of my handiwork... right? ;-)

I can usually envision what I want to do, but I don't always have the requisite mechanical ability to bring it to fruition. Sometimes I may go through several iterations before I reach an acceptable conclusion, learning new skills along the way. I guess that's what you're going through now. Don't get too frustrated: A bad day in the garage is better than a good day at work. Have fun with it.

YEAHH looks 100x better! Want to make me two lower grills for my coupe? [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img] How did you make it? You wouldnt't have to paint it I will get them powdercoated black.

Thanks - Joey Avino

 

I will post better pics (on a sunny day) when I can (don't hold your breath).

Joey... not sure I can do that again. Doing a solid job, as I think I did (not perfect though, i do se a few imperfections), takes a LONG time. Given that school starts Thursday, I am not going to have any time, period.

Also, the stock grille was used as a rough template for this grille... having no template at all will be much tougher. If/when I do a one off piece for myself, I will try to make some sort of a mold, so that I can make more of those.

BTW< i used rustoleum black gloss paint, that stuff sticks to everything.
