houndss Jun 17th, 01, 2:26 AM This is pretty dumb question, but how do you get the chrome molding off a 72 chevelle's grille? I bought a malibu grille for my SS and want to take the two middle moldings off. I tried prying on them but I am affraid that I am going to break the grille doing it. Is there an easier way? mr409 Jun 17th, 01, 4:32 AM I replaced a bent one on my 72 Malibu and they are just squeezed on. You just have to carefully pry it off. ------------------ Bob (Pa.) 1963 Impala 283 1966 Chevelle SS 409 1969 Malibu 307 1972 Malibu 307 1969 Chevy stepside 350 Check out my website: Bobs 409 Chevy Page (http://members.spree.com/entertainment/mr409/bob_s_409_chevy_page_index.html) Looking for Chevelle or Impala parts?

There are small recesses along the backside easy to see if grill is out of car. The chrome strips grab onto these. I think there are one at each end and one in the middle. Unhook the strip at these locations first and they will pull right off. Prying will also do the job but you may bend the strip, especially if the edge is really hooked good under the lip of one of the recesses.. ------------------ Jody Sirmans 71 SS454 ACES | ||
