No problem. You can do so much by removing junk, cleaning, and painting.

Your grille looks structurally decent. Just needs to be shined and painted. The headlight bucket trim is easy to remove and paint too. The plastic inner grille isn't hard either

Here's mine after I did that

Mother's metal polish with a drill attachment worked great on my bumper. It worked pretty good on the grille, but I'd like to give it another shot sometime to see if it'll get more shiny

Re: Im back!!!!!

I just dipped into my parts savings for the 69 to get this. All i can do now is clean and do odd things on the 69 that doesnt cost...no money but satisfied.
