Big front grill

Recommended Posts

The best Z grill is a custom Z grill because the way the hood opens it intrudes into the grill opening so you can't just bolt up a grill that's flush. Look at any Z grill and they all have a big gap at the top to clear the opening hood.

 

This grill is hinged with linkages going to the hood hinges so when the hood opens it moves out of the way. Then when the hood is shut it moves back into flush position.

i was also wondering about this until i found this guy on instagram who done his grill that looked sweet. he said to basically buy a 1987 chevy pickup grill on ebay for like 60 bucks and cut it to fit.

That looks quite good! maybe this will be the easyest and best looking route to go. Buying a custom grill is a no go. God it is expensive!
