corvette grill
Wondering how hard it is to install a 58-60 vette grill on a 61'? I am pretty sure that I have read on one of the threads that a member has done this install. Any help would be great. Thanks

Re: corvette grill
Here is the vette grill in my 60. I didn't put it in (it was in there when I bought it) but it looks like an easy installation useing "L" brackets.

Re: corvette grill
That looks awesome
 I have been looking for a custom grille idea for my 64 and that will totally be on my list. I wonder how it would look with single headlights... Also, how are the headlights trimmed out so they aren't just hanging in the adjuster buckets?

Re: corvette grill
I know this is not a Vette grill but it's one of the coolest I have seen.

Re: corvette grill
Here is the metal lattice work that goes behind the headlights when the vette grille is installed

Re: corvette grill
poorboy, that picture is awesome! That looks like a lot of work if those Tiki's are individual, but it almost looks like they are in a chain of some sort.
