Grill Tabs on a 1965
Can someone please post a picture of the grill area of a 1965 showing if there are mounting tabs. Here is a picture of mine currently:

NOW this is going to be a VERY challenging repair and make it so it will last. I do them from time to time and they are VERY LABOR intensive....even for me. And when I am done...they do not look like a BOZO did it...and they are thick enough to hold the clip.
SERIOUSLY...this is not going to be easy.
I will have to look and see if I have a factory front nose around that has as least one on it and get you the photo.

I have seen bent metal that were riveted the the body to make the tabs. I have seen hand laid fiberglass tabs made and bonded in place also.
It is all in what you want it to look like when completed. A very high percentage of my 63-67 Corvette customers want it where it is darn near not noticeable....which is where it takes time....lots of time. This is a spot where the sheet wax comes into play also.
