Removing grille shell on a finished car
Need a little help here. Something is not right. It's the cheapazz EBAY insert. The 2 bars that space the vertical bars on insert is 3/4" lower on 1 side.
I've got a new insert for now (can't afford the Dan Fink one right now) & I need to pull the shell. I can see I need to unbolt the front of hinge for my 4 pc Rootlieb hood, do I need to touch the radiator? I can't recall.
Can someone give me a step-by-step on removal of the shell? I'm nervous as hell about chipping something during R&R but that insert is driving me nutz.
The driveway makes the whole car look like it's crooked in this pic but pay careful attention to the POS grille- it's cross bars are clearly lower on driver's side. I've measured the car everywhere & it's that insert.
See?
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
