    Can anyone tell me how they went about making theirs? I have a place here that sells the correct metal, just don't know how to go about fitting and making the grille.

    What I found worked best for cutting the teeth out of the grille, was heating up a metal putty knife, and pushing down on them, I was able to get them almost flush that way, before I even started sanding

    Nice work.

    Sorry the 95-97 are such a PITA for you. When I do a grille/front end swap I hope you won't have given up by then :eek:
