Hey guys, I am looking for a cheap to moderatley cheap way to repair and refinish a cracked "moustache" on the front of a 52 buick roadmaster. I have two, one is cracked right in half and the other is 2/3 of the way through but still in one piece. Eastwood sell a pot metal repair kit and it may work but I am going to have to refinish it any way you cut it. This car is being put together on the cheap and I don't mind the scratched chrome bumpers for now but don't want that classic buick front end to be missing. Any ideas?
Hey, Are ya talkin' the two die cast/plated pieces that make up the upper grill? Die cast can be welded, but not without experance or opening your walet. I would solder these pieces together with 50/50 and add some steel tabs behind the crack wile soldering them together. later, perhaps ya can find some intact pieces, as plating over repaired die cast is always a crap shoot at best.
