Chevy Duty sells a kit to re-assemble the grill. Looks like you need to start at the bottom, remove crossbars and work your way up. Otherwise, would be hard to drill out rivets. My painter says he can paint without taking it apart, that would be alot easier for me. Other option is buy a chrome grill, and sell my original. Its in perfect condition with no dents or rust. May put it on ebay if I decide to go that route.
