Check out this original 69/70 grille I picked up for $37!
Can't believe I found one. It's in decent shape, and includes the insert and all the brackets. Found it at the local junk yard. That's right...$37
I'm excited to shine it up and paint the areas that should be black I just might convert my old grille to some wall art Posted via Mobile Device |

Nice score I would take that anodized stuff off and polish it bling,bling then repaint the black parts.

That thing will polish up like brand new. I just used Easy Off heavy duty oven cleaner to take the annodizing off my side trim and it worked like a charm.

That's actually a correct '70 grille.
(because of the inner grille)

If I paint the entire inside of the grill insert a dark metallic silver/gray, and the edges of the insert black, it should look just like a '69 grill unless somebody gets up with a microscope and notices that there are slightly recessed vertical stripes. From what I understand, this is how a '69 GM repo grill is anyway Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Check out this original 69/70 grille I picked up for $37!
It was Pic n Pull. I like being able to pull my own parts, and not having vehicles stacked 3 on top of each other.
It took me about an hour to get the grille off the truck. I've never done it before today. I didn't have to drill out any rivets or anything. Just removed the entire thing, that was held on by about 12 bolts. Posted via Mobile Device |
