I picked up some 1/2" square plexi glass at the local plexi place friday and made me a re-enforcement for the back of this area after I clamped the grill and used the wife's hair drier as a heat gun to remove as much of the warpage as possible. I glued the piece of plexi glass in with JB Weld. Before gluing the plexi in I used my battery powered Dremil to grove the plexi to make it fit the curve of the back of the grill. Tomorrow I will start to glue in the mounting tabs I made from scratch to mount the headlight door screws which were missing. I also need to make a few re-enforcements in the grill that factory should have put in but didn't. ... --------> Doc, I am looking at the exact same thing on my 69 Javelin grille. On that one, the bottom part is warping very slightly upwards, where some of the tabs broke. I was considering something very much like what you are doing here. Are you talking about 1/2 inch square bar stock, or sheet? Let us know how this fix works out, as I doubt I'm the only Javelin owner with this problem, and grilles for those cars start around 400 for really bad ones. I've seen one guy asking $2,000 for NOS. It's still just a 37 year old piece of plastic. After nearly 40 years of drying out, I bet if you take it out of the box it looks just like mine. I'd love to hear some updates as time goes by if any of this cracks, etc. This grille stuff is a public service, and thank you for it. mike Mike and Doc: There was an excellent article about repairing a grille (plastic, like AMC) on a Cuda in an issue of Mopar Muscle a couple of years ago. It was written by Steve Dulcich who is one of the most "hands on" magazine contributors in the business today. Steve specifies the adhesives he used and shows how to rebuild broken tabs with pieces of sheet metal. I would be glad to find this article and make copies for all you want it. Mike, I'll stick a copy in that last box of parts you bought. Email me off list if you want a copy. Regards, Joe Fulton Salinas, CA
