Got a question for you guys.  Do anyone know of a company that can refurbish a grill for my 1973 Torino? I have three of them, and all three have broken fins.  Also what about a company that refurbishes the rubber inserts for the bumperettes on the front and rear bumpers and the rear bumper pad. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!

Big swap in Columbus OH at the expo center this weekend. It is an ALL FORD swap. My buddy and I go every year. If you went out there never know you might even find a grill for your car. I bought an N.O.S grill for my 74 ranchero for $40!!! Still had all the dealer tags on it.  Just a thought

Powerblock did a segment on grill repair using epoxy, they threw out some pretty good common sense tips that would definitely help a regular guy get it done. it starts at about 13:00 here,

Years ago, I had a 69 Camaro that had the corner busted out of the console. I rebuilt it the same way using a two part epoxy and it turned out great... you would never know it was damaged (unless you turned it over)!
