1970 Grille repair & polish
Are the aluminum grilles on a 1970 thick enough to remove small dents, smooth the scrapes, and finish by polishing? With older Chevy's you could repair and polish the mouldings but I think they are stainless steel.

I refinished my moldings. The old outer grill had dings. They were in such areas that is was impossible to get behind them.

This has me courious for future projects. I saw a mini anvil/hammers set on Eastood I think. Supposedly just for trim. I think it could be done but you would have to be GOOD. Polishing out the hammer marks would be a biatch. Easy to burn through.

Take Your time and use the hammer VERY gentle.You do not want to take any dings out with one shot.I dont have any before pics,but I just removed some dings and the anodized coating from a 72 surround.
