Default 6LE Grille is almost finished... FINALLY!
Quick background is just that I wanted to make a grille for our cars that was a little more "eggcratish" like the grill on the original Sunoco Fourth Gen...



and the 2010 Camaro...



The design is FINALLY in the machine and he cut me an ABS tester to get all the bugs worked out...













...I'm just going to glue it together, test fit, make any changes with a dremel (like slash cutting the ends) and then give him the notes and paint this one for Super Chevy.

For those that don't know, this started with leftover cardboard and too much Mountain Dew at 3am...





Anyways, finished product will be powdercoated aluminum...

Once I have it all finished I'll probably shoot the dimensions of the front to dragonz28 and instead of generic bowties or whatever he can cut custom emblems to mount to it for everyone..

McNord already said he'd offer that if we had enough interest. He can make the fenders and quarters, I can get the bumpers made....

That looks pimp. IF I had a LS1 Camaro I'd be all over it. Is it going to come with the emblem?
