The grille is not chromed but it seems it's a very thin gauge steel. I've gotten pretty good at mig welding sheet metal and was wondering which type of welding to do. Thanks.

MIG welding focuses the heat on a very small area, and does it quickly. Brazing requires you to heat the area to nearly a red color before applying the rod. If you have any .023 wire, I think the MIG process would result in less warp.

This is a job for a good TIG welder. TIG is superior to other welding processes on light gauge sheet metal. Good luck with your project.
