'69 grill trim pieces

[M5Ivan]

I've ordered a new set of trim pieces to replace the worn looking (and dented) ones I have on there now. Does anybody know if the grill needs to be removed to replace the trim? Any tips to getting this done?
I've searched through the forum and can't seem to find the answer.
Thanks!!

There is no way to get your hands to all the bolts on the ends that hold the trim on so the grill's got to come out.

Remove the valance, bumper, and pull the whole grill support as one unit. It's just easier to pull out the the whole support piece than it is to just pull out the grill.

You also may need to cut some of them because of rust.
