PlymouthFan Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 I acquired a 68 roadrunner model and would like to know if anyone knows of a place I can buy a 68 gtx grille for my rr it is 1/25 if anyone knows anything or has some information it would be greatly appreciated
gtx6970 Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Thanks for bringing this up. I started a 1968 GTX conversion years ago. But every attempt at the grill ended up as trash fodder. I want to revisit this one someday and this post / link has renewed my interest to get back to it someday soon.

Makes me want to do one.
drodg Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Doesn't Keith Mark's decals offer a 1968 GTX conversion with a grill though a decal for the AMT kits?
camaro69 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 If you want I can try to model a grill for 3d-printing.

Once its done via print or resin. I,m very interested in seeing more
camaro69 Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 THX again Bill, I will have to do a testprint for myself and then I will show more...
gtx6970 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Not sure if its just in the picture. or not. But it looks like the head light area should be deeper / recessed farther looks to flush with the outer grille mldg compared to a 1/1
PlymouthFan Posted January 24, 2018 Author Posted January 24, 2018 That grille looks great what will you price them at
camaro69 Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 @gtx6970: THX for the feedback Bill, you´re right again. Reworked it today. @PlymouthFan: THX to you too. Don´t sure about the pricing yet because maybe I have to change something after the testprint again. Here new pics of the reworked one:
camaro69 Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Hi Bryon, sorry no updates yet but I want to order the grill next weekend. Because I have some other parts that have to be printed it will probably take two weeks for this process. Print will be done at shapeways. If I have the parts here I will show them just in time. THX
PlymouthFan Posted February 19, 2018 Author Posted February 19, 2018 No problem sorry for the rush that grill looks amazing has me excited to get one
gtx6970 Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Once you have the 68 GTX grill in hand. post some pics. I would be interested in a few of them
camaro69 Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Of course Bill, I will do so. THX for your interest and support. Edited February 25, 2018 by camaro69 forgot something
BobbyG Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Rico, count me in for both grills when you are ready to sell. Are you thinking about doing a 69 GTX grill?
