I have a welding company here in Barrie, Ontario (established in 1945) who can "Replicate" my original 1937 Pontiac GM Grille (8 pieces) (straight 6) CDN.
My grille is in good condition, and solid enough for them to take all the measurements and have them cut with a laser, tacked and ready to go... They would be the same thickness (maybe a mm or two thicker) so they would show very well!
The only difference will be the ribs, they wont be "folded" but solid bars, and can be ... electropolished (or chromed option) and / or made in stainless steel (or any other steel). Other then that, they would be identicle and last very long.
I can have them re-produced for about $1,400 CDN (chromed is an additional cost) but I will check to see if the Electropolish is in the price as well.
Anyone interested in the replica's, we can drive the price down if we have more then 5 orders, I am getting 2 sets made for myself.
Any feedback or interest, I'm sure they can accomodate...
