Poor man's '63 aluminum grill - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

[QUOTE=chakah;6444127]I forgot to mention earlier but when I assembled the headlight brackets to the grill, I simply got some small screws with nuts to replace the rivets. These clips are for the trim rings. Now....why does Harbor Freights have to sell me a whole box? I just need 6.

Because the other 94 will break (jk)

Nice work on the grille.
