Good tips...thanks!

I thought I had an unused tube of something. Just found 2 things I'd already bought. Got Quicksteel plastic putty which i've used before and is good stuff....but I'm not sure it'll work on the timing cover.

Also have an unused tube of Permatex Perma Poxy 2 part 5min plastic weld. Primary ingredients are Methyl Methacrylate and Methacrylic acid.
Says good for ABS Acrylic Fiberglass Glass PVC Styrene Steel Vinyl Wood. Looks like it'll work unless the cover is made of polyethylene or polypropylene.

I have used the process of acetone and shavings to repair grilles in the past but have switched to a product made by devcon called plastic welder.It comes in a two part syringe and bonds very nice to the plastic grilles.I just started to repair two 72-74 cuda grilles and a 70 dart grille.I can get some pics of the repairs if anyone would like to see?

Post'em up

Why not use ABS shaving instead of PVC shavings?

another pic

A pic of a 69 formuls S grille that was in 4 pieces that I repaired.

Got out of work early due to rain and did some work on the grille today.Cleaned up the lower area that was missing the section and made a mold out of masking tape and filled that.

pic of the repair and now its starting to get some structure

Man, looking good. Keep up the good work and keep those pics coming. I love threads like this!

This is great, I am looking forward to your repairs on the 70 Dart
grill so I have some reference for mine. But once repairs are done the next big question will be how to paint the silver & black on the grill.

The blue grille

grafting in pieces from some parts grilles

set in place but still need plenty of finish work

Moparclown - what are you doing to ensure that the "angle" between the rejoined pieces matches the original so that it follows the header panel and bumper?

I need to piece mine back together as well.

I have a header panel from a 71 up cuda and I have a nice straight bumper filler panel from a 73 cuda use as reference

Never heard of using body filler for this job but here's a link to another method using it. No idea if it works.

And another with bondo and fiberglass. Not advocating any of these, just throwing them out there. There are some pictures.
