Right Front grill for a '71

[rmoore007ri]

Need a right front grill for my '71.  This is the "deep" grill. Chrome with black strips over most of the horizonal bars.

(I'm also putting my "shallow" right front grill on the "For Sale" side . . .)

Er, how much for the shallow RS grille?

 

Pics?

 

Thanks,

Answering Ray's inquiry $60

 

Look in "For Sale"

Right Front grill for a 2002 (shallow surround)

Thanks. 

 

It'd be a shame for me to hack that up just for the bezel. I'll pass for the time being.

I have a deep passenger side grill in nice shape   email sales@blunttech.com if interested

I have to ask!  ?

 

I realize, Ray, that you have long been searching for a grille from which you can cut the headlight door/surround in order to insert that door into a grille with a bad door.  Is your hurtin' grille so nice otherwise that it's worth tacking in a replacement door?  If it's really nice, won't you afterwards want to get it re-anodized to conceal/minimize the cuts and repairs, a $500+ project from the likes of King of Trim?  And, if it's not really nice, why not just use the "donor" grille?

 

Or....is this one of those personal "missions" some people are on -- not me, of course, why do you ask? -- in which the mere act of saving a worthless piece of crap provides closure or peace to the actor -- not that I have ever engaged in such acts, why do you ask?  ?

 

How about a photo of this grille that's waiting for a new heart?

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

Well, Steve...

 

I'm glad you asked ;-)

 

It would be a shame to relegate my perfectly serviceable matching-patina grille to the parts bin, and to cannibalize a good replacement grille for my needs.

 

And I'm certain that someone, out there, somewhere has a trashed grille with a lovely intact bezel which would suit my not-outlandish requirements.

 

Also, I'm patient 

 

And, here's a pic since you asked! Hope you like!

 

The black racing lines are Chassis Saver that I coated the insides of the fenders with. You may recall the fenders were off the car at purchase. Oddly there was no sign of rust on them!

Wait...someone cleanly cut the headlight doors off of BOTH grilles?   Ahh...I pictured a single door dented beyond redemption.  OK.  I get it now....mostly!  

 

Best regards,

Naw, they're not cut. The spot welds were broken and the bezels removed. I have one -- with no damage.

 

The other one apparently disappeared in the dozen years the car sat while apart...

 

... Jim are u ignoring my emails?

Maybe you folks should duke this out in your own yard. Just saying . . .

You should be happy that your thread keeps getting bumped to the top.
