    I am wanting to make or modify a billet grill for my Comet. I was thinking of an older Chevy truck billet grill because they are straight and cutting it down the center to match the angle of the hood then making my own mounts. Does anyone have a better idea that they have used or something close? I have seen a few out there that look nice

    Just posting some alternatives for billet grill companies

    billet_art off ebay
    http://www.ebay.com/usr/billet_art

    http://www.customgrills.com/

    I emailed both a while back pretty sure both offer maverick grill..i know billet art does for sure

    Charlie Yan is from EZ billet? i believe
    I wasnt happy with the one I got from him.
    bars were unevenly spaced /wavey
    bottom mounting tab wasnt even close to reaching /bolting up to tab on car..grill eventually broke at welds on edge of top bar..probably due to bottom tab not being able to mount
