has any one had to buy a new slat grille and grille surround? I need to for the chrome bumper conversion. Would anyone mind sharing what you paid - either here or by PM. Just trying to sort out how much it will cost.

Or is anyone has same - thanks all
 
The surround was the most expensive part I bought for my conversion, I got a new one from Bright Bits (ebay seller) in England for about $140 shipped. It came in 4 parts, all shiny & new.

The slatted grille is going to cost at least $100 - $150 for a nice one. You can get a used & nasty one for less and get a kit with new SS slats and then make repairs.
NOS importers (ebay seller) sells a nice grille badge - the most authentic looking one I've seen.
 
I know Rick, it took me a while to bite that bullet.

mmm... that's a pretty white Midget you have there! :wink:
 
JP, I've sent you a PM.
I have a restorable slatted grille and some new SS slats here.

I'm in the process of replacing the grille on my '63...bought new pieces where old were dented or marred; kept the good pieces.
 
Here's what I've got:

JP, I think you are only allowed 10 PMs in your box now.
 
I'll need to get signed up - but I got another last night from another thread
 
Go to your "My stuff" and look as subcriptions. It says what you get for each level including FREE.
 
Go in & delete old PM's - or subscribe!

JP, I've sent you another email.

Shoot I had nice one of em and threw it out.

Like all the other stuff that I had ~ DARN ~

Sorry, I had a very big cleanout when my parents passed.

Happy Birthday Rick.
 
Thanks Jack!

I'm hoping my family gets me a car stereo I can install in Frank, then I'll spend the day doing that.

Otherwise, I've just been cleaning up around here - nice day for some spring cleaning :wink:
