Re: 1946 super deluxe coupe build
Not sure why you would want to modify the most beautiful grill ever produced by Ford , but, the '48 Oldsmobile grill was a popular switch out.

Re: 1946 super deluxe coupe build
Nice grills 46 to 48. It was once the rage to remove the top plinth and side bars and fill the holes and paint it the body colour, so you are just left with the stainless for the grill. I don't like that though.

Re: 1946 super deluxe coupe build
I'm with Graeme and 47 Topless, and love my '47 grill. But I've seen a number of "after market" modern truck grills...both mesh and horizontal bars...that perhaps could be modified to fit to your liking?? Or, maybe you could come up with an original creation using stainless hardware??

Tampering with the grille, or other component of a collectible car will almost always drive (no pun) interest away from value.
