I'm currently making Badge-less Grilles for our cars. These grilles are hand crafted and done correctly to be completely uniform in every way. The grilles will come in primer black and will need to be painted accordingly. It will take 2 to 3 weeks for completion and delivery because each one will be made to order. First come first served. PM me with your requests or if you need any further information.

Very nice. Can someone make this more user looking friendly :confused:

I'll start the questions?

Are these aftermarket ?

Do you have pics on a MM ? ( would be helpful in the sales ) We've seen OEM ones done by others, curious on the fitment/ waving if any.

What does it look like on the inside/back ?

These are not cheap chrome Grilles. And each grille cost me like $100 new (It takes 2 grilles to make one.) and took several days of cutting and fabrication to get them 100% perfect. And I actually like the Aftermarket grilles better and I think they are better built than the OEM ones, IMO...

Purple power strips chrome from plastic, as well as brake fluid. I've used that to strip paint and chrome from models for years. If the grille is junk, it's not worth 100.00 for two grilles. Maybe I'll look into oem Grand Marquis grilles at junk yards.

Making a badge less grill like I used to do is not only strong, but simple and quick to make.

If your sales take off, I have countless grill cores I could sell you the bars from to keep your costs down

You don't have the silver surround painted..that's why it looks off. The perimeter of the grille has to be painted the body color, only the ribs or bars are black. here is an old pic of my old Vortech Marauder badgeless

I'm doing the Cobra Emblems because the 4.6 4V in our cars are basically the Cobra Motor without the S/C. And I plan on doing the Eaton Swap in the next year or two. The car will be set up like the Cobra, so why not have the emblems to match. It's not like I'm putting Pony's on it! :lol:

why do you want a cobra badge on a marauder grille? Cobra had nothing to do with marauder. it's like putting SS emblems on the fender because this is fords version of the SS.

Your work looks really good, just wondering of the thought behind it

Because I'm dropping a Cobra Jet Engine and Transmission into my 300A... So the question is more like "Why Not?" :lol:

I've got a lot of things going on with it. But it's going to be Bad Azz when it's done...

The mesh makes it look like a badge less P71.

As for the Cobra Jet. I'll believe it when I see it. Hopefully that is enough fuel to prove it! [emoji12]

As for the trans. Do you have any clue what that entails? Been there, driven that. The amount of fabrication is enough to turn away most anyone sane..

You're talking to the guy who over the past 3 years has pieced an $8,000 Alpine System together. It's just a matter of time...

I love a challenge... Tell me I can't and watch me prove you wrong... My whole reasoning behind it is, why go for 500HP when 700HP is just a little bit more work...

I could care less than a $8000 alpine system. Mine has over $4000 in alpine and that was put in 2004. What would that = today? Spend $24,000 on the motor alone. Good for you.

Even if you were to build a 4.6 Aluminator Motor, you'd still be upward $20,000 by the time it's done... And only have 500HP I'd rather spend the extra cash and have something worth having... And I wasn't trying to rub it in on the Alpine System. I was just using it as an example... And I found a 5.4l CJ Engine for $18K not $23K....

I'm not building a motor. All my stuff is paid for. I don't need to keep changing it up. Other than get rid of the alpine head unit which is way too old and can't even see it it sunlight. My car would be a great candidate for a bigger motor. I have the suspension,front brakes ,driveshaft ,31 spline etc. abd other supporting mods.

I've got mid 800's on a Cobra short block with a Procharger and a TR6060 and spent half of that $18 large! And that includes full Stainless Works exhaust, full return style fuel, and all supporting mods. You could seriously do way better than a CJ.

Be wise with your money and get not only results but also a car that's much quicker.

As for the whole prove me wrong. That's what drives me. But I have no time for pipe dreams and my car has never been down more than a couple months. It's about enjoying the most out of it, not saving and wishing.

Like I said, I'm not going to be one of those people who change their minds 200 times. I set my goal and then I run with it... Why waste the money, when you can do it right the first time... And I know you're not building a motor, and I'm sure your Alpine System is Analog and not Digital like mine. It's the dawn of a new age, and I wanna keep up with the times...

I understand where you're coming from, but I don't dream about stuff... I hoard parts until I can build what I want! [emoji12]
