Help installing fitting the front clip
I got parts from 2 cars with my project car so Im not completly sure I have everything and I know I got doubles of some parts. This is the real hard part about putting a car back together that I didnt dissassemble!
First thing first I'm trying to figure out how the inner fenders attach. I got the AIM but the sections I looked at seem to treat the body as a single piece,am I missing a section?
Any help in figuring out how this goes back is appreciated. I few searches on the forum didnt turn up anything too helpful,if anyone knows there are detailed photos in a particular thread please point me toward it. Thanks!

And these, the support the hinges and fasten to the inner fender and the radiator surround. Usually they are already riveted to the inner fender if they were on a car already.

Cool! I just ordered thier catalog looks like it will be more help than the AIM in this part. Ill be looking for those parts tommorow. Took a few days off,was going to be a family vakay. Good thing we didnt go,we are all sick as dogs. Not too sick to dig around in the garage and fit parts though! lol!
That support makes sense,was trying to figure out how that part was supposed to hold up the hood.
This is starting to make sense. knew there had to be more to it!
