Unhappy I'm about to go nuts trying to get this 66 grill off...

I have the bumper off, no sweat. Headlights, check. Now hoe the #*&^%^#(* do I get this grill off? It looks like it's attached with rivets to what I think are the headlight buckets. So I guess I need to drill the rivets out, but how in the he!! so I get to the other bolts securing the grill without taking half the front end apart?!?! If anyone could help me I sure would appreciate it, I'm trying to get my grill and bumper done so I can install what I hope will be a very cool addition

I must be the dumbest person walking planet earth, because I looked back there and didnt see anything that seemed to hook up to that grill. I guess I'm just frustrated and I need to take a break for a couple days and try again.

lol sometimes they get covered with dirt or undercoating and are hard to see. If you look behind the grill on the outside, you should see 2 feet touching the body one over top of the other, on the outside edge. Look on the otherside of the headlight and you should see a piece touching the body there too. Ok remember where they are touching. Pull the wheel off if it makes it easier. Look inside the fenderwell you should see 2 bolt heads, one over top of the other. The inside bolt head will be in line with the top bolt.
