Grille Repair

I used epoxy and narrow strips of thin aluminum sheet to patch together broken corners and other sections of my grille. I still have the lower left corner unsecured because I could not find the missing mounting tab. I will probably have to install some kind of big c clip from the backside to keep that side in place.

Re: Grille Repair

Stock setup for 1983 Silverado. I think 83 was a unique year.

Re: Grille Repair

Tried some ABS cement to replace a missing piece of plastic. You don't get the 30 second death grip the way you would with a pipe joint, but if you let the pieces set for 15 minutes or more you do seem to get a strong repair. Just need to sand it and paint now.

Not the best pictures but gives you the overall idea.
