two tips
(1) the cowl grills: There is an old tech tip about putting fibreglass and
aluminum
screening under the grill plates. Keeps the
maple tree seeds
and other objects from getting into the blower
fan. The constant
buzz from a seed caught was driving me battier.
Barely
noticable. The area under the grill was body
color in my car.
I used fiberglass screen scraps, cut to fit,
attached by sticking
through the hold down pegs on the grill.
(2) Lower grill finisher: It fits tight against the chrome grill surround.
Go to any
parts store and look for GM side trim clips. The
have a screw
with two metal springs attached. Snip off the
springs and it
slides nicely into the finisher. Because the are
not round, they
self hold against the slides of the finisher when
to tighten or
loose them. Use plastic or nylon nuts. Remember
the tin
worm. The original big head pop riivets are
getting harder to
find and aren't cheap.

Does the flat trim piece that is on the bottom of the grill opening have any
finishing pieces or caps on the ends or does it just fit in between the
bottoms of the curved chrome piece? My body man thought that it would look
unfinished if it was just pop rivited in the bottom of the opening. Also
concerning the interior of the cowel vents at the base of the windshield
(outside)--should they be painted the body color or are they supposed to be
black? I know that the vent grilles themselves are the body color but what
about underneath? Thank you in advance.-Brad
