Hey Jackie,
I fixed the grille. You can't even tell where I placed the duct tape!    :22yikes: 
Oh geeze, the light bulbs blew just as I was taking the picture.    :smilielol:

Look forward to seeing you later this morning. Just another sneak preview for you for the ride. Be careful.

Lunch in on Anna and me.  :2thumbs:

Well the grille and bezels have made their way home. Great to see you again, Jackie! Anna, Eric and I look forward to seeing these on the car at Carlisle. Anna and I had a great time yesterday!

Now that Jackie has it home, here are a couple of pictures. I will put some "before" pictures in my restoration thread later on so you can see what was done along the way.

I doubt if I'm putting the AC back on. Wally has 1st dibs on all my AC stuff.  And wow , you have to see the grille in person. Jim does amazing work. His attention to detail is awesome.  :2thumbs:

Well, if Wally doesn't want it let me know.  i really only need the hold down clamps for the lines going into and out of the condensor, but it is good to have replacement parts just in case.  thanks for keeping me in mind!
