You can’t with a ‘55 or ‘56 grille. Maybe you can with ‘57 - ‘59’s. Once my hood is reinstalled and properly adjusted I’m gonna see if I can find a method where I DON’T have to drill through my new paint. Maybe a padlock, one of those with a long hasp for bicycles, etc. Probably have to paint it all black so it will be unseen.
