| Got a question for you guys. Do anyone know of a company that can refurbish a grill for my 1973 Torino? I have three of them, and all three have broken fins. Also what about a company that refurbishes the rubber inserts for the bumperettes on the front and rear bumpers and the rear bumper pad. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!!! |

| Big swap in Columbus OH at the expo center this weekend. It is an ALL FORD swap. My buddy and I go every year. If you went out there never know you might even find a grill for your car. I bought an N.O.S grill for my 74 ranchero for $40!!! Still had all the dealer tags on it. Just a thought |

Powerblock did a segment on grill repair using epoxy, they threw out some pretty good common sense tips that would definitely help a regular guy get it done. it starts at about 13:00 here, http://www.powerblocktv.com/episodes/MC2013-11/copo-camaro-component-resto and a forum link http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=16388.0 ------------- 72 GT Ute |

Years ago, I had a 69 Camaro that had the corner busted out of the console. I rebuilt it the same way using a two part epoxy and it turned out great... you would never know it was damaged (unless you turned it over)! -------------  TV 2M8O OUT JOE 1976 Gran Torino S&H season 2-4 Clone Project Blog: http://tv2m8o.blogspot.com/ |
