Replacement options?

[Joel Z]

Any help with finding a replacement front panel or ideas on making a new one?? NLA part. Thanks!!

I would say look for a donor grill, but that part is going to be kind of hard to find. But, it is definitely not a necessary part for the grill. It is basically just a shroud to hide the firebox. You could just leave it off until you find another one. Otherwise, check a metal shop to see how much it would cost to fab one up. It should be very simple to make one if you have the metal and tools.

Maybe grab a sheet of aluminum (anodized in a color would be cool) use the old part as a pattern and get a cheap HF angle grinder, some cutoff wheels and have at it

You could mount another piece of metal on the front of that piece to hide the rusted out area. Make it wide enough to go almost leg to leg, maybe an inch short on each side.
Have someone engrave or paint "Joel Z's Grill. You Bring It, I'll Cook It” on it.
Cheers!
