Does anyone know of any companies out there who restore grilles?

I have a grille from a 71 Demon that I would like to get restored but am having a hard time finding anyone to do it.

Any help???

I offer that service, but you'll have to be patient, I am pretty backed up right now. You can see my website for details, link below.

Not to step on Scotts toes and his process and quality is very good as well, but, seeing your pretty much right down the street I'm also throwing in a hat on this one. Either way you go you'll be exceedingly impressed with the work.

Here's a picture of a Sharktooth we did that had 52 cracks not to mention the pieces that were completely missing. The Sharktooth is the most time consuming grille to detail and paint of any plastic grille Mopar used back in the day.

Scott can attest to this, it takes hours and hours to mask off this grille for paint.

I have a 1970 Dart Swinger Grille that has a few broken mounting tabs, and dull paint. How much on average would the repair/repaint for a grille like mine cost?

Thank you both for your time (Mike and Scott)...

I resotred (repaired) my 71 Challenger grille myself.
Several missing & broken peices & Warped plastic, etc

I used a plastic welding technique and it turned out great.

I will attest to the quotes above about masking off for paint.....My 71 Challenger was nothing like the grille above...and it was still VERY time consuming.

Good luck

Mike,

Bring that grille to the party in February so I can look at it for you.
