Does anyone know the trick of how to convert my original, 4 headlight grill into a superstock grill?

I have some spare grills, no spare headlight bezels though...

I believe they just used pieces from another grill to cover the headlight. That's why (if you look closely) those pieces don't fit properly

Yeah I know but maybe there's some 'golden rules' (do's and don'ts)...

Yea as far as I have heard they just cut a section out of another grille and used it. Maybe e-mail Mosher's and ask them if there is any tricks. Ron

I can just barely see how they did it.........Nice work, and a mean look those boys got.

I long for the day of real style and class again. :grin:

Well, i'm fortunate to have multiple grills so...there's some room for error. I mailed Bob Mosher but he doesn't respond (which I understand).The only thing I DONT have is some extra light bezels...hmmm

The 64 Plymouth S/S grille in the thread looks excellent, but the 1965 Dodge Coronet grille work's it a little different. Do you have pictures as guide....I would assume you do.

Call King of Trim in or look up their website. They did Bill Goldbergs grill for his 65 s/s Cornet clone.

@62BT409: I don't have pictures for guidance.

@rlpagan: thanks! Liquid means are a little low now so I'll just wait until the end of the month or find a acceptable set on Ebay...and yes, prices vary...

Before cutting up good stuff, I want to be sure how to handle things and since all is made of aluminium, that's quite delicate...
