1937 grill replacement bars?
What is the best way to replace a missing horizontal grill bar on a '37 car grill? Does any body sell single bars? Or tips for fabricating such a bar. Thanks.

Look for a rough original one for parts.

jkflathead is looking for this missing bar out of his 1937 Ford Grille. The missing left hand bar is ten down from the top and approximately 12.5" long. Surely, someone has a incomplete Grille who could donate this missing bar to jkflathead? |

Re: 1937 grill replacement bars?
Sorry, but my long ones are for the right side. They are not the same as the curvature increases toward the center. I have rebent teeth using a duck billed vicegrip clasping the big fin and hitting the front of the tooth centered on the vicegrip to reduce the curvature. Also using two vicegrips side by side where I want to increase the curvature.
If no response for the left side, I can send you the right side one but right now my internet is out and it is taking 9 days for the service technician to come and examine the cause. So I occasionally use the neighbor's service to catch up. I will need your mailing address. |

Try a piece of 3/16 common brake line. Replaced many bars in my grille. cut to length, bend needed arch, split the ends so you can spot weld to the side pieces of the grille. Before you weld it in, start hammering with a common hammer the "v" shape you need. no special tools and you cant tell the difference when you are done.

Fantastic!!! I found a good top half of a grill. I like that brake line idea. Thank you all.
