    Hey,

    Were the breaks caused by impact damage of vibration? If by impact,
    straighten and clamp them into correct alignment and weld the breaks,
    with a small o/a torch tip. You could mig these breaks together, but the
    mig wire beads are much harder to forge into shape.

    hey thanks, i had thought of that ,but still not sure if it would hold up,the breaks look like mostly age and vibration,the grille bars are straight but pitted.
    thanks ,
