1950 Grille Mount
 

On a 1950 grille there is fender then the then the inner panel which holds the vent screens and finally the top grille bar. My question is: Does the inner panel bolt between the fender and the upper grille bar or does upper grill bar bolt between the fender and inner panel?

Thanks, Steve

Suspect that the whole inner panel goes inside of the fender.

Gosh, I have assembled those parts many times but exactitude escapes me. Here's some info from the 49-51 Merc Manual that may help. Not trying to be a smarty pants but you will know when it seems to fit just right without any binding or forcing. Plus, it will look right.

Here's more info. about the front radiator grille opening "surround" removal. 1949 and 50 are same procedure.
May be more helpful if you reverse the removal procedure in your mind so as to simulate installation.

I assumed it is a 1950 Ford and not a Mercury:confused::confused:

I now do believe that your assumption is correct, on second thought.
I won't delete it, just in case.

Hi Guys,
Thanks, it is a 50 Ford. This car was basically apart when I purchased it so has been a challenge to get it back together properly.

Smitty.........sorry I didn't see this sooner. On my 50 Ford shown in the avatar, the upper grille bar is sandwiched between the two. I did not put this together so I don't if this is correct or not but it is that way on both sides. Hope this is helpful and not too late.

Guessing that sandwiched may be correct as the fit seems best like this...
