Default Missing front brackets....Help!

Started putting the front grills, bumper, etc together this morning. Trying to get all my parts together. I took everything off a couple of years ago.. lots of boxes. So I pull out the AIM sheets covering the front, and I cant seem to locate the brackets that hold the bumperettes to the car. So I go through 3-4 boxes of parts, I find the bottom brackets but not the uppers. Tearing the garage and shop apart for over an hour, cause I'm ready to rock and roll! The car is really coming together. Cant find those damned brackets, its Saturday, can't order now until Monday, takes a week to get stuff...its turning into not a good day.....

Then I notice...through the haze (OK, plastic)



Its all becoming clearer now...



The little F-ers are part of the new bumper...DUH!!! Hullo...?

OK, back to work!!!
