I am still trying to locate a rt grill extension for my 69 conv. I will try and post a picture so we all can see what I am looking for. I checked with Tin Man and no luck there. Any help would be great. Pete
I'll have a look when I get back home. I thought you may be able to find one closer than Ontario. Give me a couple of days to see what I can find. Is the headlight door alright?
Headlight door and grill are perfect. Just the grill extension is broke. Thanks for looking for me. On a side not I heard there was a beautiful 68 SD396 down at Hot august nights this year in reno NV. Was not able to hook up with him a and chat but sure were some nice cars this year. Pete
Looks like Bigdreams has come through for me. I will be purchasing the part from him. Thank you all for keeping an eye out for this part. This board has helped out alot. I love all the cars you guys have. I will keep everyone posted on the events with the 69 conv. pete
Thanks for the help. I love it when car guys can help each other out. Just another part of collecting cars that I like. Great site and great people on here. Thank. Pete
Hi to Peter and Don, just a helping post, from the picture that could be a 68 or a 69. they are different on the front face in the blacked out area. The 68's have a 'checker plate' patern molded into the face where as the 69's are smooth in the blackened area. Cheers dave
Actually I just blew up that picture and I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that looks to be a '68, same as what we had Peter when you and I spoke and I explained the differences to you. D.

Did this get sorted out? Did Pete get the correct part?
I talked to Pete on the phone last week and I think hes still looking!??
I can't believe nobody has one available. I do have one better than the one that Pete has on his car now but not perfect. It has a small crack in it but barely noticeable under the headlight opening and a couple of small marks in the chrome. The upper screw hole is perfect not punched out like a lot of them.
All of my other grille extensions are pairs with the grille surrounds.
The crack is under the headlight opening.
Scuff in the chrome on the side
So here is my deal. Expedited shipping to Oregon is $20.16. So if you make a donation to Canadian Poncho for more than that I will ship it to you. You can PM your address to me and I will send it out Thursday morning and you should have it by the end of next week.
