'37 Ford photo-etched grille

Has anyone ever had any luck getting one of these grilles formed up and attached to a model?

This is a tough one but it can be done, I was just glad I did not need it perfect.

First I bent the halves to the curves needed, then I began gluing from the top. About a quarter inch to start using CA glue.

I added a piece of wire to the back to give it more material for the glue to hold, then I bent the halves together and worked down the center seam.

When the halves are correctly bent, they will sit with the center seam flat on a surface like a table, then they could be glued together all at once.

Not easy, but not impossible.

As long as you don't wad it up you can keep trying until it works.
