Re: [gremlintime] 70-73 Gremlin grills

Kevin,
Sounds like a good idea, however it would take someone with extreme skill 
since an entire Model grill would have to be made first, slightly larger than 
the original. 

I had an experience a few years back with a reproduction part for a very rare 
and ornate antique fan. We made a sand cast of a good original part in 
aluminum. We quickly discovered that once the Aluminum cooled that it has a 
rather large coefficient of expansion/contraction. The cooled piece was 
almost 1/2 inch smaller than the original, in only a 15 in diameter casting. 
Imagine how much you would dimension lose casting a grill?
