Yes, there are 2 chrome screws in the bottom, they go into these clips. If you are missing them you should be able to pick them up at any body supply shop or a body shop.

That’s just a clip that takes a #8 screw, so all you need is a hole, I’ll send you a picture of the clip when I get to the shop

And didn’t have the 12 point bolts in it, luckily I have a good sandblast cabinet and cleaned up the originals. Also mine was short of about 10 bolts, again the blast cabinet and por 15

[72 Fender bracket]

Yea, I did that too, so much easier 

[72 Fender bracket]

That’s good, you’re a ways from that by the looks of it, just a note the hood latch is bolted on with 12 point bolts, both on the hood and the rad support. 

[72 Fender bracket]

Yea, that’s exactly it, I hate to guess how much they want for it. Mostly unseen 

[72 Fender bracket]

It holds the number valance, I’m attached a picture 

[72 Fender bracket]

Here’s some more pictures, maybe they will help 

[72 Fender bracket]

That bracket bolts the fender to the rad support to the bracket in the picture I sent you, it doesn’t hold anything el se 

[72 Fender bracket]

Are you referring to the bracket on the back of the fender that goes to the firewall? Or the rod on the front corner that goes to the rad support? 

[72 Fender bracket]

They mount the fender only, battery tray mounts to the inner fenders, I also relocated the battery to the trunk

I also have the assembly manual if you need more

Hello everyone!  I had a few questions/requests if possible. My assembly manual hasn't come yet, so I need some guidance.  I don't have pictures tight now as my phone was dead last night...

There are brackets on the front of the fenders, vertical when installed I believe. I think these are for rad support and fender extension? But not sure. It looks like my passenger side has rotted and lost a piece at the top. Is this for the battery tray?  I'm moving my battery to the rear so I wont need in that case.

I'm just not sure if I can use what's left of mine, or should buy new/used, or fab myself. 

I have a picture of what you’re asking about

[New member in Muskoka, Ontario, Canada]

Thanks, I have been working hard on it 

[New member in Muskoka, Ontario, Canada]

Yea if I don’t have a full tank, I do because I want the weight on the rear, so far I’ve had no issues with it yet

I’m hoping this summer, still have to dial in the brakes, suspension, that will take a while, I have to go to a road track and race my son, probably will dial it in a lot more then, he’s of the option that old muscle cars are not capable of handling, he will learn
