Ford Grill

I was looking at a 1959 Ford grill and noticed how the grill kind of looks like little stars...then I got to thinking, what if I put a 59 Ford grill on my 59 Pontiac? HHMMM I think that would be cool.

See how it looks like stars

I think that would be cool instead of the slits on the stock Pontiac grill. And I think I could make it fit.

that would be very cool!! I might have to copy that!!LOL I was thinking about changing the grill myself but just havent found what i want yet. Hope you do it and post pics.

I'm going to go to the junkyard tomorrow I hope to see about getting a Pontiac rear end. I know they used to have 2 59 Fords and we'll see how much he wants for a grill.

I think it would look sweet!

thats a great idea dude i never noticed that before

I'm going to try to go to the yard tomorrow to measure one up to see if I could make it work

Damn, I forgot to measure it!

lol did you get it any way?

No, I totally forgot. I was too mad they didn't have anything else I needed haha

Damn, I would have gone with you.

I need a pair of crests for a 1953 Cadillac.

What is the address of that yard we went to?

Don't know the address but it's called Nick's and it's on Roosevelt just off of 410 on the south side

Okay, I wasn't sure which pick-n-pull it was near. Thanks!

I think the one right down the road from it is "Pick N Pull" and I think there is another yard out there also

Jay, we need to make a trip to this guys place in NB. It's out of town a few miles and its at some old mexican guys house. His back yard is filled with old cars. Last time I went (maybe 3-4 years ago) he had at least 12 restorable tri 5 chevies and lots of other cool shit

Next warm day you can go. This freezing shit is for northerners...HAHA

haha right? high 20s is about all I can handle but it's this wind that's killing me. And it's fuckin with my cedar allergies

next warm day huh?!! for northeners!! funny guys! LOL!

haha It felt pretty good today. About 50 all day

Yeah, it was nice in the sun. I got around to wrapping the spigots on the outside of the house...

I think my thermocoupler on my water heater is screwed...Pilot light has gone out 2x today.

And you know we love our Canadians!

Anyway, the '59 Ford idea is pretty damned sweet!

I think the grill would be a nice touch

you texas guys are alright in my books as well! I did a front brake job on my in-laws van, the pad was worn right down to the metal, they drove 3 hrs. here with metal on metal front passenger brakes!! Oh well, fine now but it was -4 degrees while i was doing it! So down there in texas, is there alot of scrap yards with old tin in them still??

haha wow screw that

Check out the CTC autoranch in Denton, Tx. It has to be 200 acres of all old cars 1940s-1970s. It's insane

There use to be Daley salvage in Columbus, Tx. I know there number is disconnected and their website is gone. They claimed 75 acres and over 3000 cars. All old stuff

And more locally all we have is Nick's Wrecking which about 4-5 years ago when I first started going there it was 100% all old cars. Now it's about 15% all old cars. Pretty sad

There's also John's in Seguin but I've never been there and theres a guy with about 100 cars behind his house not too far from here. He's a cool old mexican dude
