BlueZee's Custom Grill 101 *test fit photos added*

I made a little progress today with the mesh. I've almost got it trimmed down the a workable size, and tomorrow I'm going to try and finish it off by getting the right angles bent in for the top and bottom edges. I also picked up a silver Z28 rocker emblem today which made me really happy. It's coming along nicely.

I found that a sheet of plexiglass works great when working with mesh, as it's really strong and you can make straight bends by using the edge of the plexi.






Here you can see how I used that big piece of plexiglass as a straight edge so I could get this crease in the middle.

Here are some test fit photos for you! I've got 2 photos with the emblem idea I was going to do, and then 2 photos without the emblem (which is going to have the fog lights back on the car when I'm finished).


Now the only hurdle I have to conquer is figuring out a way to mount the grill to the bumper. It seems that I won't be able to use the factory screw holes where it would normally mount because there's no easy way to mount it from under the bumper, due to how far back into the bumper the grill goes. I might have to tap a few small holes towards the back side of the grill and make my own mounting places.
