Mike at BE&A came to my rescue and did a limited run of black grilles (OK, it wasn't just for me). First Mike was great to deal with, he spent time talking to me and made me feel like a friend he was trying to help out of a bind. Second the time from request to delivery was incredible and he kept me in touch during the delay of manufacturing. Third I got the grille Monday as I was going to catch a flight so I didn't inspect it until this morning. It is absolutely beautiful. It appears to be perfect in detail and finish. I have not laid it side by side with my original but you'd be hard pressed to tell a different. Thank you Mike, we are lucky to have someone as a supplier to the us that cares as much about the cars as we do. You're an asset and will no doubt get more of my money in the fuure. Careful, your character's showing!

I have two of the early attempts at repops and they are both junk in my opinion. Tons of extra flashing, and they crack just by looking at them. My original grille is in a few pieces and was held together with bondo or something when I bought the car. The '70 grill you guys did looks awesome. I know the overhead costs and such make reproducing these things a risky gamble, but I hope someone can get a '71 grill done right. Joe

It's so heavy we don't use tape we hot glue the top/bottom. You can probably dance on it once it's all buttoned up.

So when you order super heavy boxes always order the HMF's, they'll know what you mean. 4480148-grille-box.gif (86 downloads)
