steamy hot grill on grill action. GT/L grill merge.

[xXGTBspecXx]

ok so if you have ever noticed my car is grilless because my GT grill was thrashed.. and i have a white L grill but it doesnt fill in the gap. sooo i decided to merge them together to make a weird offspring. check it out..
tools needed:
saw of some sort.
lots of sand paper
clamps
bondo!!
lets begin
gt grill on top cut all up. l grill on bottom cracked.

so here we go. i measured top to bottom and the gt grill sat 4 1/2" high and the L was only 4"
i then measured and marked 2 inches from the top on both grills. (just past the bend on the sides)

i then proceeded to make friends with my cordless sawzaw

first cut up grill.. not to shabby

i then cut up the L grill and did a test fit

now sand down all the cut marks so the grills come together smoothly.

after sanding to a smooth surface a used aluminum tape on the back so provide a mold for the bond to setup in.

another test fit .( for my application i have to cut a section out of the right of the grill so my trans cooler will have a nice home.)

WOOOOHOOO ive been sanding with 320 for about an hour now.. time to lay another coat of bodo to the underside to strenghten it up a bit.. then il be mounting the top half to the bottom. and bondoeing that up to look pretty.. then its getting 4 coats of flat black.

what are we tryin to accomplish here? i thot the grills were the same..?

hurry up i wanna see it! :grin:

[xXGTBspecXx]

Welcome to the forums! I see this is your first post!
To answer your question I am pretty sure xXGTBspecXx is banned from the forums so he is not going to answer you, also he had a reputation for not completing projects/talking big and not doing what he said, so probably not.

I did this with my grille. I really like it.

[httrdd]

That bondo would crack like crazy on that foil tape. Lol. I like his ideas his craftmanship sucks!

[LGT Kirby]

The title was amazing, so I was really hoping for this to be legit looking. Sad face.

[Wiscon_Mark]

Not very much about this guy was Legit. Hence the "SCAMMER" subtitle under his username.

[LGT Kirby]
