Got a grille and fender for the 66 F-100 today

Good thing Ramses was with me...
I thought it was odd that the 66 F-100 in the junk yard still had a perfect grille in it. We found out why. The top (easy) bolts had been removed by someone else trying to get the grille, but all the ones along the bottom were rusted tight. We gave up two times and then went back and basically CHISELED the front valance off of the core support, broke through some rusted areas, removed the fender (Ford used LOTS of bolts!!! - all rusted) and pulled the valancealong with the grille. MAJOR PITA but we got it! I have been looking for one for a year.
