What's the Difference - '73 / '74
Grilles -
The front bumper cover is the same for '73 and '74 but the grilles are different? The only thing I can see is that the '73 has a chrome front edge. Am I missing anything else?
Thanks for any help,
Adam

I do the same thing. Google often times points me back here.
On the grilles - nope. I'm not that far along yet. I'll need grilles and turn signal assemblies and then will need to figure out a mounting system. Fabrication is not one of my strengths, but I have a feeling I'll be improving that skill soon.

From Corvette 1968-1982 Restoration Guide (Richard Price):
In 1973 the front grille assemblies are made from die-cast pot metal. They are painted semi-gloss black, with the leading edges of the hortizontal bars chrome plated. In 1974 they are made from die-cast aluminum instead of pot metal and are painted entirely semi-flat black with no chrome accents.
