Wow.
That by far beats splurging on 4 zip ties to hold the grille in my $200 '78 Parisienne back in the day because all the mounting screw locations were broken.

Wait, so your saying that instead of spending $99 for spinlocks and having to move a lever to hold my hardtop on, I could just Velcro it? Cool deal :dance:

Speaking of 16 penny nails, my first truck was a 1970s Chevy Luv. The key for the camshaft gear sheared. I reset the timing and stuck a 16 d nail in the keyway. A few years later the truck rusted away, but was still running strong.

There's nothing wrong with judiciously applied zip ties!
