Anybody have some ideas for h/l bezel repairs on a 70 cuda? The little tabs are broke where it meets the grill. They're originals Thank you, Joe

I took 2" black ABS pipe fittings from home depot and cut it to size, then I drilled it and added copper crimps for 12 Gauge house wiring to serve as the terminals for the screws to grill relief. Glued with JB weld, all good.

Do you have any pictures of that? Thanks, Joe

Sorry no pictures. Hard to take them now since it is fully installed.
