Superbird nose grille/opening bezels: Anyone have extras?

Hey gang...

As Operation Superbird gets closer to the paint shop, I'm looking for some parts.. Anyone out there have an extra grille bezel and turn indicator opening bezels they'd be willing to let go of? I do have the alternative of Ted's items, but wanted to check in here first... I have the items, but they aren't perfect and would like to find good originals or very nice reproductions to help facilitate the straightening of the damaged nose ( not bad, the bezels will help in dollying the lower part of the nose to the proper contour )..

Thanks..

Gean Gregory had some in stock when I got mine a few years back. Really nice pieces. Expensive but worth it!

Didn't think about that...... I have a perfect NOS driver's side... I was thinking of creating a forming template out of wood with the same contours as the original and I can hammer / dolly the other side. With that, I can do the short sides of the grille bezel since it has the same curvature as the side bezels... mmmmm

I tried.....
I have the nose grille bezels, but they have seen better days.. The driver's side is NOS.. So I used it to create a wooden mold in the curvature so I could hammer and dolly the battered side to the correct shape again. As you can see, the Orange side was flattened and doesn't have the proper curve to fit the nose opening for the turn signals. Well, it does now.. 😃
It isn't perfect, but getting close. I will mess with it some more then attack the long grille bezel.

Original Grill Screen sets are generally a hard find. One of the great sets I saw was a chromed set on e-bay 10 years ago or so. I wish I would have bought them.

I had a NOS driver's side frame for one of my cars from 30 years ago. I just could not find the other 2 pieces. All it took was the recession and about 7 years ago and I was able to complete my NOS set. 7 rears ago I was also able to find a nearly perfect Z-brace I needed, That took me 23 years too.

The number of NOS stock Grill Frame Sets that I have seen is a very small number.

I will be calling Erik this afternoon. We'll work something out for cost and trading some of what I have towards a set..

I have a perfect grille screen... thanks to Doug..  :2thumbs:

Sorry, don't see one anywhere in my mess, at least not where it should be if I had it.
