Here's a post from our build thread that illustrates the repro version more closely:

Go to the whole thread to see how we made it look like a 1970.

EDIT: Hmm, this should probably be a separate thread subject.

thanks very much for the replies - I learn something new every day on here. This is good news in case I ever pounce on a 70... Seems odd that they would make the replacement part with a different number of embossed (or debossed, or whatever) vertical separators, regardless of the solid coloring - kinda makes it not match either grille perfectly. Still a good thing - thanks again.
