How difficult is it to pull the header panel on a 79 Malibu? Can the headlight bezels and surrounding chrome trim be removed easily without removing the entire header panel?

More specifically, what’s the process for removing this piece?

I have a pretty nice pair of those trims pieces if needed, would love to get them in the hands of someone that can use them.

All the headlight pieces can be removed without removing the header panel.

And I'm diggin' those wheels. I've always liked the look of those Weld wheels. They are one of my choices when I'm ready for rims but they are a bit pricey.

They haven’t been polished in a while but here goes.

Question on the body side molding. Do you think the stuff on this car is factory or did someone buy a roll of that aftermarket stuff and put it on? She’s missing some pieces on the other side
