Looking for 73 Cuda grill ideas.
« on: February 28, 2008 - 12:44:32 AM »
I would like to see what different things people have done with 73 Cuda grills. Painted to match the car, blacked out, altered in some way, anything out of the ordinary.

Here are some.  First is a normal grill . . . :grinyes:   :thumbsup:   Then there is one with no blackout.  :screwy:  Then the next one has black out with orange inserts.   :clueless:   Body color.

Pretty wild using barbed wire as grill inserts on that last one.

Although it may not be best for cooling, has anyone seen one with the whole front opening, headlights and all, covered in smoked pexiglass?  :clueless:  :dunno:

I've seen race cars do that but that probably wouldn't be too good on the street.   A little too Chebbie for me

Here's a little body color to replace the orange in the grill area.

It is hard to tell in the picture but this Australian Mopar has bars running across the whole front from side to side covering the head lights, this could be done with a 73 Barracuda fairly easy..............

I pay homage to the best Mopars ever built.

Thanks for posting the pics with the front end covered up!  :thumbsup:  I like it! 

If I'm not mistaken, didn't the Barracuda/Cuda in certain years have like 6 different colors the grill could be painted?  :clueless:
