That turned out so well! I have thought about doing this, but have never tried. Putting this one in the memory banks and will be trying this for sure now!

Thank you! I wish I spent more time finishing it off properly in the video. I’ve been on the lookout for different style expanded metal to mock factory speaker grilles.

Awesome! Simple and clear demonstration 🔥👍🏼🔥

Thank you! Very much appreciated!

I look forward to your work on adding additional tail lamps.

Did anybody else notice it's not expanded but perfed metal?

Cool idea, what do you have running around your valve covers? It looks awesome

Thank you. Good eye! They are vintage aftermarket wire looms designed for the Y block Ford. These were offered for a short period in Honest Charlie catalogs in the late 50s I believe.

In some circumstances yes, but in this example, the grille insert is aluminum and the surrounding area was carbon steel. You could try brazing the insert on, or make the grille insert the same material as the surrounding metal and weld it on.

@@TheHotRodWorkshop Oh! Well...personally I don't like screws, a bit of glue could work and I don't trust friction to hold the grille in. If (when) I try this trick out I'll just use all 1 type of material.
