I've been trying to make an A990 grille from some spares that I have for my '65 Coronet. After looking at some old photos, it is pretty clear where to make the headlight door and original grill cuts. It is evident that the "added" section of grille goes behind the shortened original grille and the shortened headlight doors. It is also plain that the new section has to be bent a bit in order to fit. My question is how did they originally attach it to the other two sections? It has been suggested that they were only pop-rivetted. Doesn't sound quite right to me though. Does anybody have details on how to do this grille?

I would sure appreciate the scan. I am not quite sure where to put the rivets or how big a section to use from a donor grille. I am not trying to recreate an a990 sedan. I just really like the looks of the grille and think that it would look good on my hardtop.
