I am building a budget flathead powered 29 roadster. I was planning on using a 29 grill shell as I have two, but the offshore aluminum radiator I bought has enough room on either side of the shell to pass a sandwich thru . So I am going to use a 32 shell. Here is my question. I see 32 shells for under $200.00 on line and brookville shells for about a third more. Do the cheapo ones work? or should I go for the brookville shell? Rich

I have quit using the Brookville as there are some insert fit issues at the top. I use a Vintique shell with a Dales insert. A little more money but seems to be the closest to stock.
