Grille for Gen1 from Andy's BE WARNED!!!

Grille for Gen1 from Andy's BE WARNED!!!

Postby tacklebox » Sat Jun 23, 2012 9:07 am

Do not make the same mistake I made by shopping on Andy's website. I ordered their Sonora Grille after desperately searching and failing to find a custom grille. I was hesitant at first, but did it anyway. I heard that the guy who makes them here on SG no longer makes them. Now I here he's making them again. FML!!
Why didnt I send it back? Well, because my dumb ass started painting it before checking to see if it fit. After 3 weeks and 2 packs of JB Weld putty, I finally made it fit. I never used JB Weld putty before and I must say that it is awesome!! I am seriously considering customizing my old grille with it. Anyway, you've been warned. Don't order this thing unless you have sculpting skills.

Try out some of that JB Weld putty. It really helped me out. It says that it dries and becomes as strong as metal, but thats bull. Its easily sanded by hand or palm sander as I used.
