"Thanks BJ, but I think I'm gonna go a different route.
(hint, look closely at the lower valance)"
Immortal, I WAS looking closely at your lower valence. Where did you get that insert? I have been looking for one for months. Lots of the companies that had them back in the day have discontinued them.(t-rex, precision, billet 4 you etc.) I can only assume that like me you had it squireled away some where. Please tell me you found a source!
^ Menards.
Honest! They will also be suppling the main grill insert.
What is Menards?... I googled it and it looks like a hardware store???
Yep. Home Depot, Lowes, etc. Not sure what they have out in Cali. Most of them have flat stock of aluminum and steel along with angle iron and tubing. I used 1" x 3/16" by 3' aluminum if I remember right.
Oh you made it! Nice. I'll try it myself. The custom shops used to sell them. I thought you had found a source. I really have been looking for one a few years
