What parts do i need to totally swap grilles and how is availabiility? I currently have this style grille.  But I purchased the grille pieces for a split style grille  I would assume i still need to track down the surrounding trim and i was told that the headlight buckets are different? Is going to hideaways even more difficult? ------------- Stuart 71 Green Formal Roof 302 |

Sorry for the late reply. In case you're not aware, the "cobra" style grille that you currently have is worth a decent amount of money, in case you're planning on selling. Unfortunately, I can't answer your question. But, I just removed a 71 split grille from my car, and have all the hardware, etc, if you need pictures or anything. I'll be installing hide-aways on my car soon. ------------- Jeff 72 base Torino (modified) 72 Gran Torino Squire |

I didn’t catch the typo til now, and it’s too late to edit—- it should have said ‘WHOLE set-up’.

Come on Dave. You meant food. What were you thinking? Nice steaks and all the fixings? Hey, how much snow do you have there? What a horrific storm for you all.

Food.... mmmm:) We got about 10” out of it, strong steady winds, and cold, but that’s about it. We didn’t get the nasty stuff that Buffalo got. We’re ok, and carrying.
