  Anybody installed a 37 car grille that can give me tips on how to get mine in?
I didn't take it out so in the dark.
Thanks, Doug

  What kind of problems are you having?

  Have loosened off the cross bar in front of rad. And the inner aprons to frame bolts. And a couple of fender to frame bolts at the bottom. I can't seem to spread the fenders enough to get the grille in on both sides to bolt up?
Should I be starting at the bottom on the horn panel and working my way up each side?

  I loosened all the fender bolts that attach to the inner panels. Also I left off the inner braces that go from the inner panels to the frame. The fenders almost need to "flop" around to put in the grille.

  Ok will go for floppy fenders in the morning. Guess I didn't loosen up enough stuff. Took the braces off though. Thanks
