Does anyone know if there is a detailed thread or set of instructions on removing the front "nose" for the purpose of changing out the front grille? Couldn't find it with the search engine.

Thanks!

 

I'm not sure which grille you are putting in, but it can be done without removing the nose

Thanks for that great link, Keith. I'm removing the overriders and replacing the stock grille with a flat black mesh grille from Mina Gallery with a strake and emblem installed. Looking to pay homage to the original E-type grille opening. The instructions that came with the grille include the removal of the nose which, as you say, is probably easiest, but involves putting the car on jack stands, removing the inner fender liners, and getting into tight spaces with a wrench or ratchet. Probably a wash either way.

I hope the car won't reject this "organ" transplant........

 

Good Luck and post some pics when completed with saga of install..
