Clearing out a diamond LS 90-91 grill is hard

Even with a coping saw (many size blades), dremel (40 or so attachments), vice grips and many size dikes It took me a good 2 hours to clean up only one side.

Ill post images when I can, now Im trying to figure out what to fill it with for rock/bird protection and not look rice.

Getting back on topic

, could you put like some black chicken wire on the radiator support behind the grill? Don't wanna sound ghetto, but that sounds like the best idea to me...

Yeah, a loose wire mesh with black BBQ paint sounds like the way to go. If you don't like the twisted-together portions of chicken wire, just get some steel wire (or even cable), lay it flat in the arrangement you want, and solder/braze/weld each joint.

I like the hexagonal hole alloy sheet McMaster-Carr carries. Has a large percentage of open area, too, but I can't remember the percentage now. Should look more OEM than other choices.

Gutter Guard.

I forgot about gutter guard. I used the black plastic stuff for my hollowed out tooth grille on my '84. You'll need a few extra mounting points to keep it taught, but it works well. A whole roll is like $5.

Why waste time clearing a diamond grille when you can pick up a single slotted grille for a few bucks in a yard?

Mark,

I already have one. The purpose is to increase air flow, and the slotted grills suck. Plus they dont look so great.

YOU dont look so great, but you dont see us hacking you up!

I got it completely cleared.

Dont waste time with sanding disks/drums. Cut off wheels and the metal grinding shafts work best.

Now I just have to sand the thing to rough it up and apply the flat black paint I got. Still havnt found "grill" material that I like.
