Do it Yourself, Grill Block

I know it is not an A body, but I figured someone might benefit.

Home made, do it yourself grill block.

I started out with foam board from Walmart. There is a better material, available from sign shops, but I was a bit under the gun with the weather coming in.


I cut the strips to size to match the grill opening



I used a small drill bit to punch a hole through the foam from top to bottom



I used some small braided wire through the punched hole.



I twisted the wires in the back, and ended up with a reasonable grill block, that is bette then a piece of cardboard, and should help keep some heat for the inside of the van.
