George, No.. that's pretty normal for me.. I was up working on the computer all evening. Welp.. finished my Burger here.. back to work.. JW
Looks like a nice grill :TU: Now time for someone to remake Skylark Grills! Some what on topic: I saw that they had '70 GS repro grills from Year One for around 600 dollars. Is their online catalogue out of date or are the grills of poor quality? I'd rather support someone who posts here anyway, and I'll probably be repairing my Skylark grill anyway, just simple curiousity.
Eric, I'm pretty sure YO is selling the same grille, purchased from the GSCA. To my knowledge, no one else is currently making 70 GS grilles.
71 grille and taillight lens I was up to jims shop this weekend and saw the 71 grille and taillight lens.They are very very nice.You've got to admire and respect anyone taking on any kind of repro. parts for our BUICKS.Buy them so they can build more.Thanks for your time Jim! Scott
I saw them last week also and they look great. I hope they start to repo more Buick parts like 64-66 steering wheels.
Thanks to those who answered. I would definitely buy from TPP if I ever decide to go that route. Thanks again.
You Guy's Have No Idea How Pumped Up I Am After Seeing This Grille !! Since '93 I Am Wondering ,"if I Redo This Car ,,how The Hell Do I Get A Grille For It ....!!??" And Now ,,the Problem Is Solved !! ,,you Guy's Rule ,i Can't Wait For The Mailman To Bring It !...sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet !
I just ordered my 71 GS grille today. Plan is to put it in and put original away. I can relax now driving the car, always worried about that piece of plastic up front!!! I hope it sells well enought to do other parts, and I thank whoever decided to push this grille though for doing it. now I just have to wait for it to show up..hope its not really alte or anything, was told two weeks.... later Tim
Glad to see P.P. is reproducing this much needed part. Many years ago when I needed one they were impossible to find. Now at least there is an option to having a busted one or none at all. Bill
hey Jim ,,,do we have any new pics of "the grille"..? I ordered mine a month ago ,,,waiting patiently...but i am really 'sycked up to get it ,see it ,,,as i check in with my body guy each few day's ,he say's to me ,,,"did you get the grille .yet ?..." and i say ,,,"get my fenders done !...and fix that damn bullet hole in the hood......" ..i'm sure you've been there....any new pics ....?
I orderede one just under a month ago and still have not heard about it ready to be delivered. So much for a 1 week to 2 weeks!
Carl Wait until they finish the mold and are satisfied with the result. Believe it or not, it takes a lot of time to grind & polish the steel so the parts come out just right. Then when they reach that point, they have to send the mold out to get hardened, trial & error. :TU:
Anyone have any pics of the grille? I have a hard time shelling out close to 600 bucks for a replacment that I've yet to see.
Did you see page 1 of this thread?? JW has some pics and called it awesome. Good enough for me. I will have good pics and a review up on my website once I get one and can compare to my original. later Tim
