TECH:Save youself a couple thousand dollars, '34 ford grille repair...

haha...so true...

 

Nice save. I just did a old Ford truck grille and never thought about using heat. Thanks for the write up.

 

great write up.with this in mind i attempted the grill on my 38 pu which had similar damage,what had i to lose.ive been looking at it for nearly 3 years.after shaping some 5mm and 3mm plate i made great progress , welded the snapped bars and some cracks.spent two hours at it another hour tomorrow should finish it.saved $400 plus shipping for a made in s america replacement. thanx bud

 

Nice work. I have been following your other thread. I wish I had 1/4 your talent.

 

Ruler to the max!

 

Nice to see some good ol' school repairs/workmanship still out there. Back in the day (30's 40's 50's etc) body shops would repair the most mangled metal . Almost a lost art today. Looks great

 

Very nice!

 

that is amazing!

 

Nice save, did you have to have it re chromed?
