A few of you guys might know, but I'm doing a 72 front clip swap on my 78, and the smaller bits got in today.
And I need some help deciding how I should go about repairing:
1. The grille.
It's plastic? Never seen one like that before, but it's what I bought in a lot of used parts.
Anyway,

I'm pretty handy at plastic welding, learned to do it from other hobbies.
But I'm not sure how I should go about it.

Also, the hood latch I bought is also broken.
Well, one of the springs is.

Is this worth fixing?
Or should I go the route of hood pins that require keys to open?
Any help is appreciated.

there are enough restoration parts out there, repair the hood latch and try your hand at fixing the grille imo

Wish I could be of more help, like Cheeny said there are so many resto parts out for these cars that if something happens it's easily replaced, I def understand trying to save a buck though.
