I got a chance and worked a bit on the coupe. Spent some hours and actually got the grille mounted and it fits and looks great! FINALLY!!

The mounts actually line up and makes it a pleasure to work on the car again. It only took 3 grilles! I tried to "be economical" but after fighting with the first 2 I bit the bullet and bought a drakes grille and it makes all the difference in the world!

I guess it's the old saying you get what you pay for! Cheapin' out bought me nothing but frustration and lost time! I was even going to need a custom hood with trying to use the last grille. Oh well, live and learn!

Thanks for letting me vent!
