    Okay you hooked me in, what's the vision for the grille? An Edsel in Sweden must be one of none?

    I’m thinking of the line in “Animal House”. “This is gonna be good”

    But what will “this” be?
     

  5. Yea, you can't just leave us hanging like that... :D

    Ok. I’m no metal shaping wizard. But since I’m not sure there’s another life after this and there unfortunately are more than none 59 Edsels here (that would’ve stopped me from both buying it and cutting it) I guess I’ll just have to try to continue to build a kustom of it. Oh, and I sold those hideous grill halves away two years ago. Point of no return. Here comes tunneling

    What would AMT have done in 1961 ?
     
  10. Well, I am following along wherever you head. Since my son drove a 59 Edsel as his daily driver when he was in high school and is wanting another, I have come to notice Edsel’s more than before.

    That looks good. After the first picture, I thought you were going for rectangular headlights.

    I thought he’d use a tube grill all the way across and hide the lights behind.

    I’ve always wondered what one would look like if you shaved the hump off the hood and shitcanned the horse collar, replacing it with a full width tubular grille.

    Wouldn't it look like a Ford? Maybe a cross between a Ford and a Studebaker, Fordebaker?

    Even without lights in it, that is an improvement.

  22. You are too kind. In the dark corners of my warped mind, it's filed under "the toilet seat grille". :confused:
    If that moniker offends anyone, I'll amend it to "the urinal grille". :cool:

    I was thinking about Cody Walls E Job with the headlights behind the grill. There are a couple of other thoughts. With headlights, a tooth grill like a 54 Chevy in the openings……
    Or

    horizontal tubular grill with hidden headlights. Even matching tubes inside the horse collar

    good luck

    Not that I have any sway when it comes to customs but I'd say do ANYTHING you want, but please don't go 60's show car crazy and screw two hundred drawer knobs on the grill!!!
