Looking around, I saw a good picture of Lee's grille he has for sale:

Anyhow, just getting this car and not knowing what it's supposed to look like.:confused: I'm missing the bottom piece on my grill, so I don't have anything to put the springs on? It's the piece that would cover the top of the bumper. The grille just flaps in the wind.:rolleyes:

Anyone have one of these panels lying around.....cheap? What's it called:confused:

Thanks,

Rich
 
You wont find that separately. They are riveted on. I know cuz I have a good grill but a broken tab on the right side that would be lots of work to repair unless you have lots of time, a rivet gun & some patience. Mine has been sitting for years in the pile. It works, but is not good enuf just because of that broken tab on the side. Good luck! Better with a new/used grill unless your real handy? Then I would consider selling mine. Like I said it will work but 1 spring gets turned the opposite way to keep that side tight.
Also, the clip on the bottom should say BUICK. That shouldnt be too hard to find. Brian at Gbodyparts.com should have some?
 
Rich, if it's of any help I happen to have an 87 T type grille I am selling, it's not NOS but it's in good shape, no cracked plastic or anything like that...chrome looks good...PM me for more info.

Thanks for the offer.

Since it looks like the two pieces are attached or in my case should be. I'd like to find a broken grille with that piece that I could take off. I also have a black grille in the car now.

PM sent but looking for just that piece.

Thanks,

Rich
 
The bottom peice held by 5 rivets on mine is good. The side panel is broken. I mailed you some pics but not sure if you got them? Is this what you need??
