Well I pulled my grille apart and started straightening it. The upper bars are repairable, but the lower one is pretty much toast. It's got some serious cracks where the bumper brackets are as well as some rust perforations that didn't show up till I started working on it. There was about a pound of gravel sitting on top of the lower apron and against the lower bar. I guess I'll be looking for a replacement lower bar. Might be kind of scarce up here. I'll try the swap meet.
Here's some pics of the damage.
