The Bugeye grill on the car now is the re-chromed original. When I had
the car repainted for the 2008 Lake of the Ozarks 50th the body shop
was heavy handed and the top most pin was pulled so hard to
install the speed nut it cracked the metal of the grill around it. Not super evident
until you get close. Up close you can see the crack at the peak of the
grill. <div dir="auto"> I bought a replacement grill from AH
Spares and it arrived today. First of all, it is a bad pressing that
lacks the detail at the top edge. On the original there is a definite
border edge. The repro has no such detail. Maybe not important to some
people, but it bugs me. Second, the grill came bent at the bottom.
See picture below. Both ends bent like this. The chrome is cracked at the bend also. Glad I didn't spring for the high quality show chrome
version. <br></div><div dir="auto">Mike MacLean</div>
