Those are repops, got them of e-Bay, fit nice, coloring was good, I'd buy them again - can't tell the difference IMO. Got the NOS decals off e-Bay too, I would have gone repop on those, but the originals seem to have a thicker edge to them, don't know why, but I got a set for $20.00 shipped and figured it was worth it.

The scoop screens/grills attach with a couple of hex head self tapping screws from the underside.

Brian:

Thanks for noticing. Do you still have the pumpkin? I thought the wife didn't like the color and was going to broom it.

Yea, she seems to like it now, and Im not asking way either.
Although she ask about His and Her plates for the sd's, and I said Noooooooooooooooooooo, No, No, no,...........................
You get the idea.
Whens that motor going back, and any pictures ? Maybe you should start a new post.
Oh, I found some rust on the automatic car. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, when I pulled the radiator (to have it rebuilt due to small leak that never dripped on the floor) I found some lite surface rust on the Radiator support on the one end.
What should I do wire brush until clean and prime, paint. Before replacing Radiator I suppose. Any suggestions ?

Thanks Boss, nothing like a good garage. Hey Sstrips96 what color green is that bird ?
Here is a copy of a rare Shaker Option that must have been available for 1974 due to the color combo.
My cars Dont have this option however.
