DIY budget Heritage Grill w/ FORD Lettering

[AARDVARK122]

So I have had a lot of different people ask about my Heritage Grill. So here is a simple diy on how to make your own Heritage Grill.

I started with the base Bronco grill. Had it painted white. Then I took the Bronco letters off and went to Home Depot and got an aluminum door kick for $25.00. I cut it down to fit the distance across the grill where the letters were. Had it painted to match the grill. Then just applied double sided gorilla tape. And stuck the aluminum piece on and then applied the red F O R D letters I got from juggernaut. It is really that simple. I also had the outside part of the grill color matched to the bronco, so the white part wasn’t so big. It is your choice on how much white you want on your grill, but the letters and heritage part are super easy.

GENIUS! Nicely done sir.

Home Depot and Lowes sell Flat Aluminum in various widths, which would save quite a bit of milling.
I used it as a rocker panel garnish on my '62 Fairlane Build.

I looked at some flat aluminum, but it was a little too thick for what I was trying to do. I wanted the grill piece to be as thin and flat as possible so it would blend in and not look like I put the piece on.

Genius move on minimizing the white. This hits the nail on the head.

This is the grill we should have gotten, IMHO. The Bronco script on the quarter panels would make sense with this. Otherwise, just feels like it's broncobroncobroncobronco all over.

Very nice! You say that you got the FORD letters from "juggernaut" . . . what is that?

I looked them up, but it looks like they are not making the letters anymore.

Exactly. I wish they would have done more Ford branding.
