That's pretty cool..looks like a lot of work was put into that conversion.!. I tried to find some information on who build it...I think it's some Delta guys.
Funny how a engine nacelle, that would be millions to buy new, once it reaches it's useful life or just plain obsolete can be bought for weight in scrap.
Thanks for sharing.

I went to a Lockheed salvage yard one time. Got some brand new unused surplus honeycombed titanium faced panels for about a buck a pound as I recall. Lockheed was just trying to get rid of their waste. I had plans of making a super cool trunk out of it. I finally scapped it myself. It was too tough to cut. Nothing available to me would cut it.
I suspect that the cost of the panels had already been paid for via a US government contract. Government did not want the panels and Lockheed had to get rid of them due to no storage space. Like me when I have a yard sale. Stuff I want gone. Make me any kind of an offer and it is yours. Truth be known I might even give some stuff away.

I found that video as well. But I could not find anything about the engine nacelle grill. That makes me think it is a new creation from the Delta guys parked out back of their ops center.
It looks like it was made from a real engine nacelle and modified to be a grill...but hard to tell from the picture for sure. Pretty cool to say the least.
