Hi Dave!

Yes! I've been fitting the grilles to the car. These are the ones made from Martelleria in Germany that restores these for BMW. I am currently waiting on the driver's side outer grille surrounds to be made and shipped, then I'll fit that to the car too. The 3D printed plastic grilles I had made were just about perfectly sized, but the metal lip around the edge needed to be formed better. If you look closely, the grille sets into the metal which rounds over. The grille doesn't sit on top on the metal. It's a subtle detail, but it matters. I'm close. I like the way its looking.

It's a very slow process with these details but think the end result will be well worth it.

Can't wait for paint!

Cheers
Dave

Have you seen this? Hans Stuck beating the crap out of a 507 at Gaisbergrennen in 1959.
