My precious

[Baikal.2002]

My new grilles finally arrived. 9 months after my grand adventure. So shiny. No words....

[thaddeussmith]

those. are. pretty.

[nbristow01]

Dayummm those are nice...so are they NEW grilles? Or new to you? Someone making these? They look fantastic

[Baikal.2002]

They're brand spanking new parts from my local dealer. The towing company's insurance bought them for me.

[nbristow01]

Man those are just so nice looking. They are so straight is why I asked if they were new. Good job on getting new parts

[jgerock]

Yes- they are wonderful. Bet they weren't cheap!

Too bad the "narrow" ones aren't available new for us '72 and '73 owners.

[VintageAutobahn]

Wow, very nice. I'm curious how long they will stay so shiney. How often does the car make it out of the garage?

[Baikal.2002]

Only out once a month, it's still a work in progress.

Yes- they are wonderful. Bet they weren't cheap!

Too bad the "narrow" ones aren't available new for us '72 and '73 owners.

Not cheap at all, just shy of a grand after tax. If you're not a stickler for correct shallow grilles you can always adapt the early chrome "eyebrows" to the later buckets to fill the gap.

Congratulation,show us some picture when its done.

Best,

O.C.

Those are beauties for sure. I'd be inclined to get a used set and only put these on for Sunday services. Or better yet, sell them and buy something awesome with the cash, such as 150 litres of Spaten.

Colin could not remember your last name to find your number. You have me to thank for the grills. I could have told him I'd pick them up for you. Guilt would have then consumed me.

They look great. Don't get any bugs caught in'em.

I'm going to go schwarz covering free on the 69 1600-2. I'm curious how it'll look with the black slatted center.

Congrats! That '02 of yours is looking super. You have done an amazing job. We are going to be down there soon visiting my brother in Baton Rouge. (end of March) Maybe I can take a peek at it when we head to N.O.
