Tried n true FB over rider grill, but this time made to fit with a pan/stonetray to follow their mounting curve, then curving down to bumper (simila to 52 de-soto).
For blinkers, how about like I did on the back of my old heap with cut down front FB's, or those ones that went on the top or the guards on some Austins and other pom mobiles.
Oh you might want to get a fan shroud to help with the cooling.

Yeah that grill does look great but Im trying to keep costs down, Im also a fan of the lights in the bar.I saw some headlights on ebay that have a led built in to them around the perimeter ,I thought I could put these in and hook the bottoms up for indicators however they might be a bit New

Found these today at bunnings ,I need about 20 of them ,putting them upright following the shape of the bonnet edge but back in a wee way about 45mm apart(maybe a tad closer) ,I had to tell them I was building a massive set of drawers

Good find

They are nice n shiny $7 a pop by 23 units ,gonna be 40.9mm apart to the centers,(
$161.00 to the bloody chinese again,No offence)
I might gentle curve them as I dont want them to come to a point,not that they will as its very subtle bend,thought about matching the ends to the
bottom light inner then gently rolling to the center level
