Yeah, it's kind of a weird piece. I just put mine back on after getting the car painted, and I even struggled this time just because it's kind of a weird piece. :)
That gap on the passenger side grill molding is driving my OCD crazy! It looks like it needs to be bent flush to the body. Maybe use a small dead blow hammer to nudge it.
Looks good Andy - the car is coming along nicely! Since I'm a part of the "Janky Grille Gang" I just opted for a louder exhaust to drown out the grille rattling 😂
Nice how to video. I still have a pair of NOS pieces from Ford. Got those in the 80' . When my car was down for a while, i took all the branches, hood latch pieces, bumper brackets, brake pedal assembly etc. Powder coated in semi gloss black. Mine is a 65 Fastback, the grill is honey-comb style. The original 65 grilles were a silver-blue metallic color. The mounting hardware is also available in stainless steel for a few extra bucks. Keep the old pieces just in case they are originals. Thanks for sharing.
Never realized how easy that is I’m a body guy but with my 66 coupe I’ve only been doing maintenance or mechanical work so bare minimum I can just drive the car but I do the same thing any extra bolts, nuts, washers etc goes in a organized drawer just in case I need it for something my fiancé asked why do you need all this and I said well in a pinch it’ll save me a trip to the hardware store ha
When I bought my 66 2+2 in 1975 it had a honeycomb grille. Resto experts say a honeycomb grille is wrong for a 66 2+2 but during the 2019 restore I put a new honeycomb grille in. My surrounds are good but good to see how to R&R. thx
Any idea how to get the emblem back on because the brackets are to big for my grille. I’m trying to figure out a way to secure it on. I have the same emblem.
That's tough to say without knowing more about your build. The first thing I'd look for in an oil for these cars is something with Zinc additives in it. From there, it depends on the age of your engine and if it has any internal upgrades. In my 347, I use non-synthetic Rotella T4 15W-40, which is used in diesel engines. It was what my engine builder said I needed to use, and since I want my engine to last, I'll use what he says. :)
@@AndyKruseChannel thats what i was thinking, i pretty much got the car with no back story, and the internet is all over the charts, im gonna stop by a engine shop and see if they can gather some information on working condition and see what they recommend, appropriate it

Very helpful video, I couldn’t figure out how to install the middle trim part and this video enlighten me 😂

Great vid for me - I need to replace those lower pieces as well. But dude - put the Pony back on!
Tempting.

Great, now I see it....

Ha, we're gonna need a video, or it didn't happen!! :)

Yeah, it can be nice to have original pieces. :)

Truth, there has been a bunch of times I didn't need to go get a bolt because I had something here in the bin. :)
Always Great!!!!
Thanks!

I may have a reason to upgrade to the honeycomb in the next few months. Oops, I said too much....
Great videos thank you
Glad you like them!
Looked amazing , except for that SeaHawks shirt!!
It's ok if you don't want to support your local team through the rough years. :)
Good job 👍
Thanks 👍
I find those grill moldings buzz and rattle so I put some adhesive foam under the moldings to keep them tight and silent.
That's a good idea!

Sorry Brotha, I don't know of another way to secure the emblem outside of the normal way. :)
Hey buddy i just purchased a 67 coupe with a 351w, what oil weight do you use or recommend

I have a 302 recommended to use 10w30 with a zinc additive
What was the problem with the clips?
I don't know, cheap pieces?
