The hole in the grille was a real pain. Though it normally lurks behind the winch, I wanted it fixed before I painted. I had no luck finding a piece of grillework to patch the hole with, so I ended up brazing 21 pieces of 1/8" steel in place, most of them about 3/8" long! Every time I brazed a piece in, thermal expansion would crack one or more of the existing joints, so this was a rather slow process.
