Re: remove grille frame

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I dont know how your front bumper is mounted, but if it is like my 56 
Chrysler, the bumper brackets bolt to the frame horns and is easily removes 
as an assembly. About 4 bolts and it all comes off. Which chrome plater do 
you use? I have found some bumper platers not far away and their prices my 
be better even with shipping..  Yup, if you don't have a 57-61 over there, 
you are somewhat insignificant . :-)...................MO    sw  iowa
