Find a chrome skull to put on there.
Grill is almost done, I do have a tiny black rubber mold skull ☠️ with the bones back at home. Maybe set it off a little the hand made grill insert silver letting dry over night then frame up the rest. Have to wait to mount headlights when I get home next week sent the there.
 
Personally if it were me I would cut the center grill section out, then go to walmart where they have metal mesh office supplies like the business card holder. Then cut it to size and glue that to the inside with shoe goo.

He hasn't shared pics of what he is doing yet, and I expect it to be pretty epic compared to the pics of Trat's builds. So staying tuned into this one. Also, we have yet to see pics of the car since he opened the box. Hint hint.

Little fire wall clean. Grill still in the works.
Many of the '60s era altered class cars ran a blank fibreglass grill shell. The shell you imaged would be correct for that period. 'AC'
And here is a real nice hand built 1/8 scale 60s Nostalgic dragster of mine. 😃
