If you are referring to the chrome trim above and below the grill teeth - yes. They have studs that go thru the fiberglass. Remove the nuts and they should come off.

Easier to do this with the grill bar removed though.....

well I learned a few things here. You need small hands. And Be aware that your working on a 60yo car

the wax and dirt build up over the years ultimately turns into concrete behind the chrome. That or back in the day they used superglue as a wax

i almost gave up but you all kept me going.

thanks for the help

Nice work, that is impressive! My mitts do not fit between the teeth well. At minimum, I would have had to remove a few teeth.
