As far as grille surrounds I have extras.. Just checked and I have a set. What is wrong with your set?? the set on the car?? Also, pretty sure 72 used this, know <71 did.....on the HVAC control it should say "de-ice" vs "defrost" which was used ,I think, on >73 model years.just a way of making sure your car has the correct year HVAC unit..
And on my wining about my back hurting from the trunk work.. no sympathy needed. I've had 8 back surgeries.. sort of what I deal with on a daily basis....

Piece of cake once you get the dash removed huh? I love it. Not sure how would explain that to my wife - Hey honey, can you help me lift the dash out this weekend? What a slippery slope. I was hoping it was about like getting the radio out....
There's nothing really wrong with the surrounds, other than being 42 years old. Just normal wear and tear. I could probably polish them up with some elbow grease, but figured I would get a good set rechromed and do a quick swap. Then I'll save the originals for a future project. By the time this is over I'll have about half of what I need to create a Frankencar.
