how is this held in place?they seem to have screws deep in the center but what about where it meets the fender and hood?
both sides on mine are loose.
are there clips i can buy?

No they can’t be purchased they are fabricated. I don’t have a photo to show you what they looked like.

are they attached to the fender?
or is there something on the aluminum trim itself?

This should help you with what they look like

They're made of sheetmetal with bends. One end is riveted to the surround and the other end is wedged under the lip of the aluminum and has a bolt that secures it to the fender. I believe there are 3 on each side. The two you can see here and another one down in the bottom corner.

after looking i think these youve shown are the lower ones right?
is it the same up top where it meets the trim in the front of the hood?
thats where mine is not secure.

The photos above should be the top driver side. The part with red overspray would be next to the hood trim. Here's a different photo with the approximate locations of the 3 studs that secure to the fender. They're accessed from up underneath the fender. Yours may have rusted off.

67 Coronet Grill surrounds

I'm trying to remove the grill surrounds to refinish them. Anyone have experience in removing the fasteners that attach to the fenders? Or advice on the removal of the surrounds? Any help would be appreciated.
