The chrome is flaking and I want to have it blasted and painted. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 | Well lets see, you have to take the hood of first. Then the baffel plate between the radiator and the grill. The upper and lower grills are bolted together. You can take them off both together or separately. I would try to remove them together. There's a bunch of bolts and screws aroung the perimiter of the grill(s) that attach it to the fenders and the lower valance between the bumper mounts
It's not too hard to do, just kind of a pain in the butt. It will thke several hours to a day depending on how bad the screws/bolts are rusted.
Good luck
George

Just be prepared to cut them off if they won't come off if stripped, a small die grinder worked good for me, I used a hacksaw also. I took mine in 2 pieces and it went fine. Dave
