so i started tinkering with my grille its in pretty good shape not many cracked spots it is broke on both corners where it sits under the bumper those will be fun to make what did you guys use to get off badly rusted bolts and rust rather not hack em with a cutoff wheel but thats last resort

If the bolt or nut is close to something I wanted to preserve, I used a Dremel tool with a metal cutting blade.   You can use it as a cutting blade or as a very thin grinding wheel,  just takes time and patience.  You can get into tighter places with the little 1" wheel and you can also control the cut better.
