So i'm attempting to restore my 72' 442 myself and i'm curious if my front grill is able to be restored? If so, how would I go about it?
about half the mounting clips are busted
You can gently soda blast the plastic if you want to strip the old paint off. JB Weld would be an excellent candidate for bulding up material on the mounting bosses for redrilling. Be prepared for a lot of elbow grease when shaping and finish sanding. Repops are available if you're not concerned about originality. I would scrap that grille filler piece though....repops are also available.
is my 72 442 grill restorable
You could try to rebuild it with a Plastek kit that stuff is extremely good
