I always tig them, just my preference.

My tig skills are basically gluing 2 pieces of aluminum or stainless steel together when absolutely necessary, if I tried welding those beer can thin grills, I’d be out 2 grills per try!

On thin aluminum, I use a stainless backer and start out with low amps with the tig rod at the ready.

Here’s a 64’ grille that I converted a long time ago and the owner had a “accident” so I was able to fix it. The 65’ Coronet grille was a just a fix and polish. I’ve done 2 single headlight conversions for that year.
