Grille installation BJ8

[carbuf60]

I am a new member with a '67 BJ8 and would appreciate any help regarding the sequence for mounting both the grille & eyebrow using the threaded rods (with welded nut in the middle). I am aware of the tabs at the opening and how to get the grille in through the wheel well, but my car was apart at time of purchase, so I am a bit lost. Thanks

I installed my grill from the front of the car through the hole in the shroud. I had to bend the tabs to make it fit. Dont bend the tabs too much as it will leave an indent in the chrome. Make sure you first jack up the front of the car and remove wheels, and air deflectors etc.

It is a real pain of a job and will left me with bleeding hands and arms.

From what I remember ...

The tabs on the surround all have holes, put the surround and upper lip in first without fastners / bolts
Then put in the special bolts at the upper holes and outside holes at the underside
Then put in the grille (upper side first), and fasten all
