Does anyone have instructions on how to remove the grill from a 68 charger? I can't seem to figure out exactly how to remove it. Are there instructions somewhere on the web?
Thanks

?? I just took a good look at mine and started unbolting the thing. I guess you can start by remove the head light doors. Not sure about 68's but the 70 pretty much comes out all in one piece except the doors.

Remove the front bumper and lower splash pan/valance. Unplug the vacuum hoses to the headlight doors and unplug the headlight wiring harness at the connector on the drivers side inner fender. Remove all the bolts that hold the complete metal surround that houses the complete grill assembly and remove the whole assembly as a complete unit. Once the complete assembly is out you can proceed to remove the plastic grill assembly without damaging it unless it is already chipped or cracked. You will not be able to just remove the headlight doors without damaging them with the grill assembly mounted in the car. Trust me, I've done this whole job on my 68 Charger and spent 125+ hours restoring it. Good Luck!

Thanks for the details on removing the grille. Did you have 125+ hours in just the grille?

good info...Badblack68,looks like time well spent.Awesome job.

125 hours???? I'm guess you did a heck of a lot more than a cleaning and re-paint. Here's a not so awsome shot of mine. I removed it, cleaned it, fixed a few cracks, painted it and had back on the car in about 5 hours. Oh and NOOOOOO DO NOT paint it all black.

another, I have since adjusted the headlight doors. Man I really should paint the rad black.

looks good. removal & replacement of the '68 grille is a PIA. '70's are a lot different.

Does anyone know if a grille surround bolt/nut kit is available? I'm looking for the self tappers that attach the Upper (4), Sides (8) and Center Support (2), plus the 4 nuts (presumably with captive washers) that attach the rear of the frame surround to the fenders.

In case anyone is interested, the bolts/nuts just referenced are all those that are needed to be removed (with bumper removed) in order for the grille assembly to be separated from a 68/69 Charger.
