Plastic work is so tedious.....
Brings back memories. It is a lot of work. Just keep it up, your doing a great job.Here is a pic of the pass side bucket and where it broke

So my plan was to prep all of the plastic pieces (I used a dremel to 45 all edges and crack lines. I also drilled a hole at the end of the crack. This will stop the crack from continuing) and then to create a slurry using ABS shavings and acetone. Then using the slurry to fill in all of the cracks and holes.

That is some tedious and stressful work to restore these old plastic/fiber parts.
Great work so far Don!
I feel your pain, I remember that process all to well but on a plus those repairs are still holding strong and you can't see a single one of them. Plastic weld, 2 part epoxy from any hardware store or even WalMart, worked great.
Nice work Don. You are bringing back some Charger grill repair memories to me, although mine wasn't nearly as bad as yours. How many more parts and pieces do you think a Charger has on it compared to say a Road Runner or Super Bee? Quite a few I believe.
