Mike Bakken wrote a tech tip for us on
restoring a grille for an Advance Design truck ... for beginners! He wrote this some time ago and we are just now finishing it up.
Check it out. If you have any comments, please post them here so Mike can check and weigh in. Also, it will help if he gets enough feedback where he might want to add more images or explanation. OR ... someone may want to throw in a few cents worth from a NON-beginner.

Thanks for the good work on this Mike!
