Barn find 72 340 duster

the repaired area looks rough and is but it is super strong and firm as the grille itself. It will take hours of sanding from here to smooth the visible areas before primer. the tabs are always the broken areas of these grilles and the most difficult area to repair. The only thing going for me is the hours of sanding will be a little easier because the chrome trim will cover part of the repair. The repair is very strong and the results are very good. also use a Popsicle stick to fill and strengthen all the hairline cracks on the face of the grille.

Just a little tip. If you clean off the paint and use the same color plastic. After sanded just rub a little acetone on the rough areas and smooth it. Let it sit and it will look like new. You will not even have to paint the plastic part that don't get painted, it will look that good. I have been doing this for years. I will say this is the best way but a lot of work. I have been posting this for years and helping people out. Just do it in a good ventilated area.

great work
