Re: '33 grill stamped as one piece.
It was fun to watch the film. I counted four separate die sets for making the grille shell. One for forming the basic shape with no grille bars, one for forming the left side bar shapes and one for forming the right side bar shapes (only one of those was shown in the film) and a final stamping to cut the slots out between the bars.
