At one time I had two of these 1959 Ford pickups that were missing the front grills and bumpers. I acquired another in a collection purchase missing the front piece. I tried for years to find these pieces to replace and repair them. No chance!!!
I carefully removed the one from one of my good ones and made a mold for this piece. I cast several from resin and restored all three!!!

Awesome job!!! If you ever cast a rear bumper for the Racing Champions 57 Chevy, let me know. I have 3 otherwise mint cars that are missing the back bumper.

That is truly amazing how you made that happen. I don't know the process but I am impressed. That Red Ford reminds me of the awesome sound the cams make on my mustang.

That grille looks like it would work on a build of a late 50s Isuzu TXD, which I hope someone makes someday. I think the biggest chance is from TLV
