Hey Guys!

How can i fix a few broken tabs on the center grilles on 71 hideaways?

Can i sand or bead blast the grilles and parts? (Its going to be painted)

Yes they are pot metal. Don't sand blast them. Someone tried that on one of my grilles which is another reason I painted mine black. I used some paint stripping products, took a few applications but worked good. Could probably bead blast but I'd be real careful.
Have never seen that muggyweld product, couldn't get the video to load either.

I bead blasted mine and it worked out fine. I had a lot of blisters in the chrome, so I blasted them and painted them.
