I can only guess that you haven't read the thread on moparts that one has been seen to Dave at Roseville (and others) for test fitting?
If I cant fix it, it's broke

I  am def reading the original link.  But there has been absolutely no feedback return on how the test fit went.  I can only go by the info that's seen here and on that link.   But my point remains:   Ill beleive it when it is available for actual sale  to the public.  Again, Ill stand by my printed word:  If it meets the points I brought up in my last post, Ill be the first guy to purchase and post everything I can during my install.

Hopefully there will more definitive word once it's shown at Mopar at Carlyse

my test grille should be here any day and it will be compared to an original, an NOS grille and test fitted.  I have another buyer that wants a large quantitiy also so if your intersted in buying when they become available let us know. this will be a one time deal so be prepared.

what you will get is the UNpainted grille frame, initial estimated price is 900.00 but it is NOT carved in stone.
10 pieces of trim- UN installed and yes this is injected molded
6 graters-  UN installed
headlamp bezels in chrome,

this is how it is going to come. We can also provide the grille mounting hardware.

Hopefully they will be nice quality. I will look at what they have at Carisle. For that price I would have to buy one. I hope they sell alot of them. Now if they can come up with a perfect fitting E-body dash pads that would be a grand slam home run.

I talked to Roseville yesterday and got my name on the list for one while I was ordering a dash pad. I believe they're test fitting now.
