RE: {Chrysler 300} 1964 grill studs

Thanks John,

If the epoxy studs do not work, then I will be on the hunt for an unmolested part.

Hi James,

I am new to the club but a long time Chrysler/Mopar enthusiasts. I have several cars and recently purchased a ‘65 300L.

I read the group messages with interest and enjoy learning more about these letter cars, even non letter or upcoming car news or regulations.

That being said I see you are in need of the metal housing for your plastic grill piece. I may have several from an estate sale. If you give me some time I will get to them and look ‘em over. It would be maybe a week as I’m attending to some family business now.

I can send out some pictures.

Best regards, John Klir

I ordered some “weld” #6 and #8 studs. These have a little “L” foot on them. I will see if I can epoxy them in place of the broken studs.

I looked at a couple of grills on eBay and had people selling them send me photos or look and each one had the studs broken at this point. I remember looking six months back and the same thing.

There must be a design problem. The top lip of that part can get “pulled back” over time as it is in a bad spot. I suspect that is what is going on.

You talking the piece that goes across nose of the hood?

How about a picture?

Hi all,

The front grill…the diecast that holds the plastic in place…the studs.

On mine the two top ones are broken off and missing. I have looked at two or three on eBay and all of them have the same issues.

Does anyone have any creatives ideas? My only thought is to try and epoxy a couple of small threaded studs and see if they hold.

Thoughts?

James
