yeah so im sick of the grille options for my iroc so i want to make one, does anyone kno where i cna get a sheet or perforated steel or anything that i can make a grill out of it and still have ample airflow to cool the monster motor, i would prefer honeycomb design, but anything that looks good will be appreciated, ive done home depot and all the car stores, nothing...so im askin you for help...let me kno guys...

 

I found and bought exactly what you're looking for. I've been meaning to post about it on here actually. It's hexagonal perforated steel (also available in aluminum). it's the same exact size as the mesh used on the back side of the early power bulge T/A hoods! I'm very excited to use it on my T/A, but it won't be done until '08.

here's a picture taken right from their site:


I can't give a direct link because of the way the website is set up, but here's how to get to it:
Go to www.mcmaster.com

They used to have a direct link for it, but now you have to
type "metal perforated sheet" into the Find box on the left

You'll see a bunch of styles shown, one being the "hexagonal hole perforated sheet"

Once you click on it, you can choose between the 22 gauge steel (which is IDENTICAL to the stock mesh on my 84 T/A), or the 20 gauge aluminum (which would look awesome polished on the right car!) Also, it states that the mesh is 79% open area... which could be useful information if you actually want to calculate your total open area.

I decided to go black with mine, so I got the steel. the sheet 36" x 40", which is likely more than enough for whatever you have in mind.

 

i saw some like that last time i was at advance

 

hmm. i'll be a little pissed if i could've gotten the same stuff at a local auto parts store.

 

Sadly, you can get it anywhere, yeah. Like at those ***** shops, that only sell cupholders and colored light bulbs. You can buy a big 1' x 4' ish section of it for less than 20 bucks.


edit: Forgot that it blocks out "r i c e r"

 

i managed to find some, but its not honey comb its jus round holes, so made a grille for my cherokee out of it to see how it looks, but i want to advance auto and they didnt have anything like that, import shops might have it...or am i gonna have to order it from this website,

 

You might want to see if you can find something you like from another car to make it out of. I cut up a grill from a jaguar for the back of my power bulge and it looks awesome. It was just a flat grill so it was perfect to work with.
