Need a measurement (72-74 Challenger grille)
« on: August 06, 2010 - 08:41:01 AM »
A long time ago I threatened to redesign the grille and header for my car, and since I now have a little time I'm going to start playing around with that. Since the car is several hours from me, I can't get to it to check things out. Can anybody give me a measurement from the front of the header, where the grille surround mounts, to the leading edge of the hood moulding?

I'd love to help you out but I can't imagine what your referring to....my hood & header are off the car, could this measurement be made in this case?

 :lol2: Thanks, Wade, but I think they do have to be on the car. The pic was good for a laugh, though.
