70 grill repair

Any recommendations on dent removal for aluminum grill for a 70? Who to send it to? Aftermarket ones dont seem to have the chevy script.

Re: 70 grill repair

I have witnessed the work of these guys first hand, and they turn out quality.
http://www.whitworx.com/stainlessand...polishing.html

You might call them.

Of course I found out about Whitworx after I bought a replacement grille, which I got here:
http://www.classicparts.com/1969-70-.../#.WTmcvpLyu1s

The classic parts replacement had the letters just like the original I took off and fit nearly perfect - I will note that I was using my OEM front fenders and hood, so that probably made a difference.

Re: 70 grill repair

It might be cheaper to purchase a good used grill?
Just a thought ...

I am guessing you can get a very nice used Grill for about $300 complete with inner and outer.
