I was in a similar situation with my car during its restoration. We spent lots of time "fitting" the grille and when we got it back from chrome it was unrecognizable it was so bent. To make a long story short we ended up buying some stainless flat bar and bending it the short direction on the press to give it the rounded top look. Then we mitered the angles and tacked it together on the car. Once it fit perfect we took it off welded it and welded studs on the back. After a polish it was done.
