If no one has experience on the Six Pack Performance grilles (probably Gene's?) I am also not far from them and maybe Art may have some parts on hand that he might let me take some shots of for you... let me know

Dont let Gean talk you into using his aluminum grills as they are brutal.







....That's putting it "nicely", as I've seen those grilles in person, you'd be better off fabbing your own grilles on a mill, (which I have done in the past before the repros came out) Jeromes are nice, I got 2 sets from Year One about 3 yrs ago, in stock at that time....I've got Year Ones bubbles which are a composite plastic (not a glass lay-up), very heavy in density, light gray on the outside and black underside, supposely YO's better "upgrade" bubbles, as they offer 2 type, approx $400 ea, grilles fit with minimal effort, all the bosses are molded in,,,,I did have a fiberglass repro many years ago from all places "Jims Auto Parts", very nice construction, Red GelCoat finisk, very accurate as far as fitting of all the factory grilles, doors, base, etc, again all the bosses were in place, and very nice construction for a fiberglass part

Art Jr at Six Pack said they sell Jerome's grilles but are currently out of stock. He said Jerome has been sick.

Someone else told me they won't stock Ben's grilles as they have had too many returns due to fit issues and they also prefer Jeromes grilles

Did it sound like he would restart production when (if???) he gets better???

I have a set of Gean's grills. Lots of cast flashing to clean up, and the grill bar surfaces looked rough, as I recall. I haven't studied them too closely. I'm sure it will take some work to make them look right.

like everyone said, spend the money on the shaker scoop, being an owner of a shaker car, I laugh at all the shakers that look silly...
