I’ve been spending 30-40 minutes each morning working dents out of the grill. In the distant past someone must have rear ended a truck with something protruding from the bed. The impact bent the lower grill bar upward in the center and put a pretty good crease in it. Using a 1” steel bar and my 12 ton press I was able to get the crease out but the bar has a slight bend and twist in it. I spent some time this morning drilling out the rivets holding the center assembly in place. That is now out of the way so I should be able to get at the lower bar easier. Slowly getting it straight enough for powder coat.
I ended up ordering 2 NOS headlight bezels and they arrived Monday in perfect NOS condition. The ‘62 apparently is a 1 Year only grill so I feel lucky to find these.
