TexasStyle280z Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 my 280 is missing its grill and since im doing a custom front i am going to be fabing my own grill. i want it to be built the same way as the original but i dont have a original grill to look at. my questions are... 1. what gauge material is the grill made of. 2. what are the measurments of the slats(degree of bend, height, depth and spacing between slats. any good close pics would also be a real help. your help will be greatly appreatiated.

Turbo7MN Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 The grille I have is 20 gauge from the measure I took. That being said if you a doing a custom job who cares what the original was made of, they were rubbish imo, too thin. If you recreated one if stainless it would look good, but stainless is a bit harder to work. I will try and dig my spare out of the basement and take some measures on it.

TexasStyle280z Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 thanks a bunch man. i do plan on improving on the original. ive been kinda torn between doing it in aluminum or stainless. i agree with you. stainless would be much nicer. and since im practically rebuilding the whole car..i have the time to spend on it. thanks for the help.
