I have an opportunity to have new grilles made for these cars. The issue will be the cost. Mesage me if you are interested the cost will be 2500 Canadian plus shipping
Unless a ttop kit car most (no offense) F body owners are thrifty. 2k is probably more than what they paid/car is worth. Can't believe that Moparts/Tonys parts. Etc wouldn't jump on for a mass run of 250 and get price point around 500-750 I'd bet they would sell,problem is Dodge or Plymouth and what years? 78 79? 80 gets left out..76/77?
I maybe might pay that, if it was a billet aluminum re production grill, I think that is about what it would cost to have one custom made. scanned from one of my original grillsI have a 1978-1979 Dodge Aspen Grille that fits the 76-79 volares too.
$1000. no cracks with the brackets
I wish you luck getting it scanned and getting that scan printer ready for that. The quotes that I got varied from 5500 to over 10000. They are very complex grilles. As the price went north and the interest in the product went north I suspended the idea. Things may change one day or hopefully there is a supplier that sees an opportunity out there for someone.I maybe might pay that, if it was a billet aluminum re production grill, I think that is about what it would cost to have one custom made. scanned from one of my original grills
the billit grill I put in my volare cost me 100 off the shelf, it now sells for 180. they are starting to make mid 70's G M billet grills now also.in the same price range or the nova and G bodies/ also for the A body duster, the FMJ's are starting to gain popularity, it is only a matter of time.I wish you luck getting it scanned and getting that scan printer ready for that.

I used the center grill brace it bolted right up I dont know where you are seeing gaps it tucks i right along side thelight buckets which also serve to secure the ends of the grillYou want me to be honest, your $100 grill looks terrible. It looks like something a 17 year old made. Let me guess you used zip ties to mount it, God knows if it will even stay on the car driving 65mph.
I would have been more impressed if you mounted a Duster Grill and put a duster hood so it closes without gaps. Stay Mopar OEM.
