71 Cuda grill install??
« on: July 27, 2006 - 02:18:51 PM »
OK - I am buttoning up my 71 HEMI Cuda build up and the Grill is killing me!!! I cannot figure how or where it bolts to anything on the bottom?? Am I missing a piece that runs underneath the grill and just above the bumper frame horns??? I have a diagram from Chiltons that was for body shops to estimate labor and price parts and components and it doesn't show anything. But the grill doesn't make sense how it is supported or bolted in???

There is a site that has factory diagrams but I cannot recall the address Does anyone know it? 'cause I am stuck! and the grill is original and uncracked. I do not want to brake it by being impatiant or neglegent. :clueless:

Thanks
Cudajoe  :newbie

It only mounts at 3 points on the bottom of the grill.   There is the 5 screws on the top.   On the bottom, in the center there is 1 place it attaches to the support that is attached to the header panel.   Then on each side way to the outer edge it attaches to the body, however, just those 3 spots on the lower end, nothing anywhere above the bumper brackets as you mentioned.   I have done a bunch of them, but don't think I have any pictures.   Email me at psrde@aol.com if no one else has any pictures or you need more help.
