a couple of the mags had how to stories on repairing grills. Looked pretty simple, and turned out nice. be alot cheaper than having it restored.

i just got a grille for my 71 challenger. It has some cracks in it i want to try repair myself. What could i used to fill the cracks and sand them out. Also is any place that i can send it out to be restored???
I used 3M 8115 panel bonding adhesive. it's for quarter panels but I used on my 68 charger grill. it is so strong when it cures, but you can file and sand it perfeclty smooth. you can even use it to make pieces that are missing. for small jobs, you don't need to buy the special gun, you can rig something up to push the good out to mix it.
