cold weather grill cover; I made this!

I wanted a cold weather grill cover for my J54 to help the diesel engine stay at operating temperature this winter, I saw a picture one time on the internet of one so I decided to make one.
This is how it turned out.
This is the front with just the chaff guard over the radiator.

I used snaps to hold the grill cover in place, the flaps can be adjusted to allow different air flow.

this one the flaps are snapped down in the closed position, it looks like zippers but that is just the chaff guard behind the grill cover

I made this out of quilted polyester material
Thanks for looking

That is one of the things I love about a Jeep, you can just keep putting useful pieces on it!


Thanks for the compliments, I liked how it turned out, I wonder if I should put some linseed oil or something on it to water proof it?

Wow! That that is really nice work & that perforated stainless chaff grill is sweet!
You might try spraying Thompson's Water Seal for the quilted polyester material. I've had good results with it on canvas materials.
