Same here Cody, which is what prompted this compilation of information.
The best bit of technical information: Having a "parts grille", and using it to create the perfect "grille adhesive" by dissolving small pieces of it in acetone. Mixing it together as it melts to create a paste, which then bonds cracks, or fills gaps in your good grille.
Man! And does that ever work well!!

 Hmmm. Which would take more time, reading all those threads or restoring a grill (or two)? Thanks for the database. I'm getting ready to do mine (been getting ready for a while now) so I'm sure I'll be using this thread.

Thanks for doing this, Man!! The best bit of technical information: Having a "parts grille", and using it to create the perfect "grille adhesive" by dissolving small pieces of it in acetone.

That's a really cool idea, I'm gonna try that! Does anyone happen to have the bracing for the surrounding metal frame of the grille?This is the brace that connects the grille to the bottom of the radiator housing?Thanks!

Have looked in this very good grillrestoguide but propably missed it, I have seen -68 chargers with bodycolour in the area between the lower chromemolding and the bumper. Shouldn't that area be black as the plastic is? |
