Subject: Adhesive Removal - Grill

Hi All,

Wow, I can't believe I made my first and only post OVER 1 year ago, and sadly have not progressed very far with my '68 1600. :(

I've got a couple questions regarding the grills on my old girl:

-The existing grills were thrashed (painted over, missing slats, dented, etc), so I picked up a set of later model grills (with the black metal "covers" over some of the slats) in pretty good condition. I was able to remove the black slats, but there is the 35 year old adhesive that is all yellowed and dried that I can't seem to remove. It is visible on the top of each slat. I've tried paint thinner and brake cleaner, neither of which were able to even soften the stuff. Any ideas?

-I'm also in need of the front kidneys. Am I able to use any of the kidneys from the roundies?

Thanks in advance everyone!

Alan
