Aluminum Grille Resto
Over the span of 35-plus years, nature and poor driving had assaulted our ’63 Ford Falcon’s grille, but virtually all of the major damage was concentrated in one small area just under the edge of the hood, almost as if someone had grabbed the slats and crushed them or speared a protruding object. The rest of the grille and the headlight bezels were nearly mint. Despite the small size of the damaged area, these broken and twisted slats constituted a major repair, because they had to be removed, straightened, trimmed, and welded back on, and Ano-Brite warned us that the welded areas would show up after anodizing. Although anything can be fixed if the stakes (and price) are high enough, you’ll be money ahead by searching for a good repairable core if your car’s grille is in worse shape than this.
