Re: 69/70 Grill Differences

For our 69, we just installed the grill set as it came with no modification. We didn't do anything crazy like try and cut the ribs down. But to make the repro as correct as possible for a 70, we had to work on it. Let's look at the layout:

The 70 is often described as having "Seven black vertical stripes". In actuality the 70 grille is a black "egg crate" with six columns of raised horizontal ribs that are painted silver...I'm assuming the silver is screened on at the factory. (I've seen one that looked like it had little silver runs at one end where the excess dripped a little).
