66 repop chrome grill install issues
 
I was able to get the buckets installed into the grill with a few small modifications to the grill tabs, ready to bolt it on the truck/grill support...but now...the problem is the two inside mounting pads are in contact with the stock grill support but the two outside bolt holes on both sides have about 1/2" of space between the grill mounting pads and the grill support. The holes look to be lined up but the pads are not on the mounting surface...when adding some pressure by hand, it doesnt really move....Thoughts?

You ever get this figured out?

I did. Its just a poorly formed grill. I had to have another person push hard on it to get the bolts started then was able to suck it back to the grill support. Looks good now, just par for the course with repop stuff.
