'61 Lower Radiator Shroud Installation
Turned out that the lower RH shroud had been modified previously. As part of fixing the broken bolt where the two lower shrouds join I pulled the LH shroud as well (took some wiggling but it came out). Since I pulled the modified RH out first the question is:
What is anything else needs to be removed before both shrouds (if correct) be put in put back in? Is the best process LH and then RH? Etc.?

You guys are confusing me with the LH/RH designation.
The shroud on my 61 is made of (3) pieces.
The lower shroud is (2) smaller pieces (that bolt together to form the lower shroud)
Plus the (1) main/top shroud.

Here's a picture of mine installed, although painted silver hammered and the top shroud is chrome plated.
You can see the drivers side/left side is on the bottom and the passenger side/right side goes on top and the screws go through both.
Just my opinion but just seems like the bottoms will go in easier with the top shroud removed.
