Put the top of the grille surround on the bench. Wrap an arm around it like a bass fiddle.

Nice looking show board, Kev. Good job. Looks classy.

I see an awl in the photo, so i think I tapped it out with that. Maybe i used some WD40 ir Blaster first. I dont remember doing anything special or overt. But then I declare victory if I dont break anything in an attempt to fix something.

I posted some pictures and commentary on Page 2 starting at Post #15 of the Duchess Project that may help.

I was given a quote by somebody on the upper east coast of $800. It was a short conversation. I opted for a $400 reproduction from Max. I’d like to know if rebuilding it yourself is worth the time given the cost to buy. Do you need special shop equipment?

I’m sure my metal straps came from Kanter, and the rubber, too, but rubber may have come from Steele at the time (1990?).the extra long SS T-bolts came from McMaster

With HH56 help I installed a blinking red light when ignition is off using the overdrive indicator as a deterent for overnights at a motel.
For towaway defense, i hid an Apple Airtag in the car. More for my piece of mind.
In the ‘70s my top was slit, but not to break in, but to steal my rear window, prob for a street rod.

Restoration Specialties sells them in a few sizes. I know you want to do a perfect and authentic job on the Jackard now you know they belong in there and where. For some hold down purpose.
