I would second that. Very cool Charles, but have no clue how it works. Some things are obvious but like extropic I’m Caddyless.Is it too late to show a picture of the clip/how it works?
I don't have a 59/60 Caddy handy so . . .
Hi, I don't have the tool at home. The friend I made it for took it with him. But when the bullit is in position on the grille ( the grille not mounted on the car ) the grille is put face down, the clip is laid in place on the bullits open end, the tool is used to then by tapping the tool with a hammer, push the clip into position locking the bullit in place. Hope I explained understandingly. Thanks.@Charles scozzari
Nice looking Tool.

Hijack: For a friend of mine, I once made a special socket to change the drive sprocket on a Moto Guzzi.
My friend later told me that when he showed a prospective buyer the tool, it clinched the sale. LOL
Well it's a good thing I haven't found that tool Charles . I have no room at the inn for a huge Caddy in the driveway . Great work on the tool though , nice looking project which made someone a happy camper .Good morning, This is a tool to insert the clips that hold the grille bullets on 1959/60 Caddy's.
I sure will. The work was done vertically, then to form the seats that push the clip on were done with my rotary table in the vertical while holding the work horizontally, I used this P&W 2-3/4x45 degree cutter. to form the seat. Sure hope this is helpful.
Not even a 1959 Eldorado Biarritz ? Maybe ZL 1 powered. Thanks, CharlieWell it's a good thing I haven't found that tool Charles . I have no room at the inn for a huge Caddy in the driveway . Great work on the tool though , nice looking project which made someone a happy camper .
