Just as a quick update, I have been working on the grill blocks. I installed a piece of clear plastic (Lexan) over the green and orange areas on each side. I tried to make a frame, but gave up and just screwed it directly to the car. I’m not in love with it, but it is working for now. Showing dirt is the biggest “problem.” There has been no big noticeable difference from the small area covered; the front is still so wide open it will need more attention before the numbers start to move.
I have had a few starts on the yellow upper grill. I tried making a flush contoured removable plug from expanding foam covered in fiberglass, but I had no inner reinforcement, so the plug changed shape as it cured. I trimmed and trimmed to get it to fit, but I then had major issues applying the fiberglass to the surface. I have scrapped this idea, and am moving on to other methods. My idea of the moment it to make a textured plug that looks like a grill and paint it black. This is similar to what I have seen done on some newer cars.
In the near future the car is going to receive a belly pan, but I am waiting on a friend to help me get the materials.
