The aluminum is thin, so use some metal as a backer if your gonna weld it.

They didn't weld them back in the day. They used rivets just like the grill that moparman400 is showing.

Yeah, I know that. Just thought he might weld it.

I haven't done a single headlight conversion........yet! I do have 2 complete grille sets, but I would need another center section to do a conversion. In addition, I would weld them together and make the additional section match the vertical center section.....that would not be correct, but would look more pleasing to the eye.

Im sure Mr Goldberg built his own. !!!!!!!! Yea right
