I just completed mine. Followed the procedure shown using a gloss black powder coated mesh sheet from Custom Car Grills. The 16" x 48" was more than enough to do all six sections.

The only tip I can add is before discarding the cut-out honeycomb bits, you can use it as a template to mark and bend the mesh. The aluminun mesh I used was easy to cut with snips, but tough to bend accurately. This template helps account for the curvature of the grille.
:headbang: Very Nice! that California special look.

Where did you find the little horse?

How did you all go about sanding the plastic after cutting? Grit, wet vs dry, etc.

I just used a fine grade sand paper after de-burring the dremel cut. The edge are well hidden when mounted
