I need some help with my grill my grill is broken and i want to know how to replace it....what materials to use, any tips, etc.
answer from: crown victoria custom grille What material do you use ? pieces or slit cut from sheet of aluminum Just make vertically cut at lift & right & insert the slit then but some epoxy and wait until dry then paint it
Okay Not saying I know how to fix it, cuz Im pretty sure I don't... but it would help others to Mention what EXACTLY is wrong with it, and not just say it's broken help... like....HOW is it broken... Thanks and have a good day *edit* Just got the whole crown vic thing not being part of your said problem so I took that part out =P
along the epoxie idea, I used JB Weld and a small piece of sheet metal to back up and strengthen the plastic lower dash cover. It should work on your grill too
eastwood company has a kit for fixing plastic parts on your car. and I remember seeing a video on their website a while back showing how to fix a plastic grill.
Did it break from impact or did it just start falling apart from weathering - UV exposure ? Plastics start to break down over time and conditions and if you fix all the broken spots, you will be real mad if it just continues to fall apart. If it is from impact, go ahead and see if you can repair it. But if it just started breaking apart from its age - look for a decent one on ebay or put a wanted ad in the classifieds.
Acornridgeman - It's just falling to pieces due to old age and exposure. I can't fix it - so I'm going to buy a new one or try to make a new one. If anyone knows of a custom grill place, send me the info, please. Thanks again!
They are harder to find for the Comet than a Maverick - but check out the classified section for comet parts. Ebay too. You can post a wanted ad too in the wanted forum. Board member Comet72 had a grille in this thread - check with him .... http://www.maverick.to/mmb/showthread.php?t=47362&highlight=comet+grille Good luck!
