A fellow NCRS member has kindly donated a '65 grille that is somewhat damaged by front-end collision. I need a winter project and am wondering if any of the grille bars (mostly outboard) and the top and LH moulding and support(s) are still available from the General, or from repro sources [as complete grille assemblies are now being made, at a price].
I see that the '65 AIM devotes an entire page (UPC 11-13, Sheet B2) to the assembly of the grille -- 18 parts not counting the rivets. The fact that this is shown in the AIM, IMO, means that this was done at St.Louis. Was it done in an off-line area ?
And were Ionia A-bodies shipped to St.Louis without grilles in '64-5 ? (ie. grilles only assembled at St.Louis) ?
