1969 Mach 1 grille surround
CCP:
Trying to replace the outer grille surround mouldings. Wow, not much room to get at the retaining clip nuts!
Is it necessary/easier to remove the headlight buckets?
Thanks, any advice or past experience would be greatly appreciated.
Pete.
Armond:
Those moldings were installed before the headlight bucket was mounted to the fender. I have never tried to R&R them with the buckets still attached to the fenders. I don't think to do it properly, it would be possible. Good Luck!
CCP:
Hmm..ok thanks. Next question; is removing the headlight buckets a big job? LOL.

If the car is completely together - I would say its a pretty involved task. Lots of things to detach, lots of things to ding into as you remove and reinstall
CCP:
Got them off, what a battle. Is there a different style clip/retainer I could substitute. A push in or similar type?
Thanks again.
Pete.
