Kudzuking Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Ibought a grill for the 47 Ply. I took it apart and repainted the frame, and cleaned up the chrome, where does the top chrome bar that runs between the headlight rings fasten to? the fenders?, I don't see any mounting holes for it, or have they covered them up?

Kudzuking Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Posted January 5, 2013 Thanks Mr. Ed, that splains it, guess i gotta start looking for holes. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 hopefully you will find the PO took the cheezy way out and you only have to remove bondo and not weld... Quote
Kudzuking Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Posted January 5, 2013 Yep, it'll be bondo, already see where they filled the sides of the front fenders, but, better for me. oh, and PO? Quote
Kudzuking Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Posted January 5, 2013 K, got it, whoever they were they sure f...........messed up this old car. but I have patience, ain't got much else, patience i got a ton, oh, and two dogs. Quote
Daliant. Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 The headlight trim doesn't look right, they should have notches in them to cover the ends of the grill moulding. Quote
Kudzuking Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) When the PO took out the grill, they used some snips to trim the rings to eliminate the notch, I have bought some more. I am looking for some parking light housings and lenses, and the center piece with the chrome v and ship if anyone has some the want to sell. By the way, the other pic is the tail light bracket holding the bulb, is that the 47 bracket? looks like the original wires running to it. Edited January 6, 2013 by Kudzuking Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 that be some sort of mod to the rear light..the actual bulb holder is a spring clip that lockes onto the body and into two notches of the hole to prevent rotation..I am sure they upgraded this to enhance light to the lens.. Quote
cwcars88 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 If any body has an extra grill they are willing to part with let me know. I don't need the stainless just the sheet metal, small dents or surface rust OK cwcars@comcast.net Quote
Kudzuking Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Posted January 6, 2013 Well all I can say is, the guy that did this couldn't clean toilets at M.I.T. by the way it's amazing what you can do if ya have to and with the few tools i have left. Quote

nates1947 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 I'm also looking for an extra grill! I have about half of the stainless but as you can see from the picture below I'm more concerned witht the sheetmetal for the opening. My uncle who I got the car from was doing a custom kind of thing and shaved all the trim, and cut down the grill opening. I would really like to go back to the stock size grill opening. All of the fenders and body lines have been welded together so I'm not too worried about the body work either! I recognize alot of you guys from the HAMB, but if you're interested in my car and its story I have it posted up on the HAMB my over there is n847 http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=471353 Quote
cwcars88 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 I'll take some pics of the frame I took out, if Ya want, just pay shipping and you can have it. Thanks for the offer, I will take you up on it, please send pictures and I will get back to you. cwcars@comcast.net Quote
cwcars88 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 I sent you an e-mail with all info on it haven't heard back ??? Quote
Kudzuking Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Posted January 10, 2013 Gotta box it and get it off, will try to get it done tomorrow Quote
