Default Bottom panel tab.

Would anyone have a template, diagram, drawing of the lower center fiberglass tab that accepts the grille? Trying to fabricate one to replace my missing tab.
thanks...1967 no air small block

Sorry, my 67 is in paint or I would get you some measurements. If you don't need it to be perfect I would go off of some pictures from an internet search & mock up the grill to mark where you need to drill.

This is the best pic I have of mine at the moment. I believe it was cracked and painter fixed it so I don’t know how original it looks.
