Hi,

About all I can say for this project is to use an ABS solvent type cement.
You will still have seams of every joint showing either because the cement will be of a color and sunlight will affect its strength over time.
So definitely plan on using an overcoat to protect the materials.

I know this from owning a Ford F-100 and the grill in it became brittle.
Luckily I have not cracked the grill of my 1978 GT.

When you talk of Bezels are meaning where the fog lamps go or the badge emblem.

Phil
