I assumed your place was on the west cost. Mine is in Great Falls (well right next to it in Black Eagle). About an hour and a half away. And they ship.

This is my buddy's award winning '56 Olds custom at a Goodguy's show in Spokane in '09. This place scanned his wood mockup for the grill insert, digitized it, "corrected" the curve, and cut a couple dozen out of steel and delivered for (I think) under $200, including materials. My buddy then welded them all to a frame work to mount behind the bumper and had them chromed by a big show-quality chromer in LA.



We'll have to talk about finishes when I get the estimate back. I can take them to the same chromer locally that did my original bracket or have them powder-coated locally (the guy that kind of effed up my rear fender does "hard parts" like rims and bumpers much better), and without having to do any stripping or prep other than cleaning, it should be pretty cheap. I'm totally willing to ship them out raw, though so you can do whatever you want. We'll see how the costs shake out.
