About that grill.... I purchased a new grille from a well known mail-order dealer... typical made in Taiwan junk! It would not fit.... period. The frame was a different shape. So, I used the old frame, had it powdercoated to the original color. Powdercoating will smooth out a slightly rough surface, much better than paint. I then took the grille bars from the new grill and attached them to the old frame. I could then mount it and does look ok. So if your original grill bars are in decent shape, have them re-chromed, and powdercoat your old frame.
I can't remember for sure, but I think I used the old clips from the headlight rings to mount the new rings. I would try to find a good used, original set of hinges.
