I can tell you that the grilles are tougher than you think.
The pictures show a 1936 Ford pickup grille that I own and I started working on it and my body shop guy told me to HIT IT. And as you can see, after he HIT IT it the damage came out.

I'm not sure if this will help. my 34 grill had some vertical bars that were bent bad. I had a spare seat frame and used some pieces from it to braize into the grill, they were a perfect fit. Ken

Just turning one over on a piece of carpet and standing on the bars works quite well to get the project going. Then a little tweaking.
