So, I picked up a model 98 today... it has a matrix board in it... but, one half of the grip frame is cracked all the way through and i need some help. 



there's the good looking side....


here's where the trouble starts.  i need to replace the grip frame some how, but i can't just buy a new shell from tippmann and slap it on there because of the custom work done to get the board in there. 

i was thinking of something along the lines of a cage type thing that screwed in where the body screws go... i'm lookin at enos for some ideas maybe after he stops making fun of me for the condition i bought this.  any ideas of how to fix it are welcome... and if anyone with the know-how or equipment to fix this and is willing to help me out... that would be great.

Wait, why does it say 98 custom on it, and you said that it is a model 98? Anyways, Can't you just weld so scrap metal around it and bondo?

i have a really nice tig welder and ive tried it and you cant weld 98 bodies, the metals too bad. The only welds that have come out for me wernt very strong. This might sounds ghetto but I would seriosuyl suggest lots and lots of aluminum jb weld, that stuff works wonders
