New Member, New to Mopar, New to Classic Cars and just bought a 1972 Duster

Removed the grill yesterday and started the restoration process.

The grill had a few cracks and one of the fins was broken as you can see in the earlier pics. I opened up the cracks with a dremel last night and will be filling and sanding tonight. Primer and paint will come after that and then back on the car.

I could have just painted the grill since the cracks weren't that big, but since I had it out I wanted to go ahead and fix everything I could. Can I tell you there was a moment of hesitation with the cutting tool in hand before I opened up that first hairline crack. . . No going back.
