    I read that 69 grill repair but is the 70 plastic? Someone has already done some work on it and filled a section in the corner but I got a couple of cracks at top and in the lower corner webbing. The section repaired is lumped up where the hole use to be and I was thinking filler but thought I would ask before distroying an OEM grill. They taped it from behind and added epoxy I think in the corner.

    Wow thats what I was thinking about using. What about using that fiberglass bondo? Is that grill plastic or fiberglass?

    no fiberglass bondo is for filling big holes.
    Fiberglass with resin can be layed down over the bad sports and you can reinforce it better

    i have found that resin (with out the fiberglass) works great for gluing grills .i have used j/b weld,a.b.s pipe cement,epoxy.I like the resin best it becomes part of the grill if it prep right.
