Great fabricators in LA?

[Buck.n.Bronco]

I'm interested in designing and fabricating a custom front grille for my 1973 Bronx.

I realize the process for this can take a fairly long time from sourcing, to settling in the right fit, to production, to final installation, so I wanted to try to see if anybody knew of good fabricators who are reliable and reasonably priced in the Los Angeles area.

I'd love to further discuss this project and I'm open to all ideas / advisement on the matter.

What are you looking to have made? A body panel like a unique grill or something out of tubing like a cage?

I don’t know if he is still there but in the early 90’s I spent some time in LA with Scott Knight at Scott’s hammer works. He was amazing but I have not keep up with him.

I want to create a unique body grill with same exact fitment and headlight structure only the grill part is different

I see his place as a Yelp record (City of Industry, CA)... I'll give him a call on the listen number to find out!

Be prepared to get flamed. It usually doesnt go over well when guys start changing the stock grill around except for narrowing or bobbing lower corners.

Are you trying to modify the center section only or create an entirely new front grill?

This really would be modifying the center section design

I'm not building it for someone else.

Jamie at FabTech in Chatsworth is a good option.

I was going to post a link to another grille fab project, then saw your user name & was cornfused.

Looks like your user name is similar to the title of that custom build thread that I was thinking of: Buck 'n' a Bronco

You might try calling ICON and ask them who does their grills. They're in LA.
