Has anybody got a good recommendation to repair a grill that's broken in half? As you can see this was poorly repaired at one time, but it didn't hold.
I was just going to post this method. Its what the pros use and it works.I'm considering trying this if you haven't seen it yet........
How To: Repairing Plastic Sharktooth Grilles
69 B'cuda grille surrounds are notorious for growing cracks just by looking at 'em the wrong way.
I have a section out of my driver side I need to fit a piece in.......

I've also done this but in addition drilled lots of small holes in the metal piece so the JB weld is holding on with a lot more surface area than just the perimeter around the metal. Metal piece sort of looks like a cheese grater before assembly onto the backside of the grill.I used a thin piece of metal for strength and Jb weld. Put a little Jb then the metal clamp it together and let dry. Then apply more Jb for strength and to fill in cracks and imperfections. Solid as a rock!

Careful now....you'll end up with people asking you to repair their grilles.I took your advice. Got to mix up and apply a little more JB Weld for the backside and then Smoothen out the crack & repaint the front.

Used Plastic Wood as body filler on plastic models. was great for making flared wheel wells and other body mods. Looks like you need some.
