Re: Question for those with chrome/billet grills

Anyway, I got the grill brackets mounted, but need to figure out how to make an extension for the hood latch. Pics would really help if anyone has one of these.

Oh, and I am very dissappointed in this thing considering it ran almost $600 shipped. The chrome is peeling off the top and lower edges, not to mention the missing hardware.
I put a billet grille in my 1970 CST....I HATED the handle that was supplied in the kit and decided to make a cable operated hood release....here is a link to what I did....
