Néed tips on how to restore the grill of a 70 R/T Challenger grill. Grill has no broken pieces. Needs to be cleaned and all the grill squares brighten to new condition. Or, is there a vendor who restores these grills?

You can purchase an entirely new grille from Dynacorn, or just the sections you want

I did mine with a toothbrush and purple power with great results.

I'll give the purple power and tooth brush a shot.

Cost of having someone restore mine was more that a new grill...I took Dayclona's advice and got a new grill,,,and kept my old grill as a spare..

Grill looks good. Any issues with how it fit and quality?

Fit was pretty good,,,grill is aluminum and pliable.
I had to deal some minor fitment issues,,,but overall was happy with it.

I will say,,,,be very mindful of what shape the grill shows up in,,ie,,,when you take it out of the box.

Dave @ Roseville gave me a heads up about this,,,when he shipped the grill to me...
Apparently dynocorn does a bad job packaging these grills,,,first one i got had the end of the grill "folded over" on itself,,,b/c they don't secure the grill in the box very well,,,and it got messed up in shipping,,,
Box looked fine,,,but the grill probably moved and bent the soft material,,
I sent it back and Dave sent me another no issues,,

Quality seems good,,,perhaps not as "heavy" as the original, but once it is painted and on the car,,,hard to tell it from the original....
