1970 egg crate grill finish
Hi can anyone tell and show me how the 1970 egg crate grill on the lower fenders should be finished off? I think just the horizontal lines are down to the chrome what about the chrome that outlines the whole grill? A good picture would be appreciated, thank you.

Hi Bp,
I believe you described the 70 side grill correctly.
It doesn't even have the raised vertical surfaces that have the chrome edge exposed on the 71-72 grills. That's what makes the 70 side grills somewhat rare.
So the perimeter 'track' on 3 sides of the grill, top, front, and bottom, is exposed, along with the horizontal lines.
Regards,
Alan

If you have the correct grills for 1970. The chrome exposed edges that you described are the only raised edges found on a 1970 grill. It's been said per NCRS that Cortez Silver cars possibly had painted grills with no chrome edges. I went that route with my 1970 Cortez Silver car. Of coarse I wasn't satisfied with the look of an all painted grill so I did a second set with exposed chrome edges no wonder my car still isn't done.
