Never fear! I built one before I learned to weld and I had to replace a plastic grille.
Go to a hardware store and buy some aluminum stock. You can buy channel, tubing, or solid rectangular stock. You can notch the back of the channel or strips to make the V in the center of your grille.
I anchored it to my pickup with threaded rod. Get some black plastic tubing to use as spacers between the grille bars, drill the bars, insert the threaded rod, and bolt down the ends.
You can polish the aluminum to look like chrome. I bought something called Wenol polish at a car show - it's great!
