Hi, if you could be more specific on what is missing, and also I have found that info in the Service manual, the 1968-1982 Restoration Guide and the Assembly manual (for your year) has been invaluable, (check out the Forum store, at the top of this page) I would recommend buying all three for reference and using the forum here as there is a lot of experince here to be drawn on as the help I have received from various members has been great! Good luck and welcome,

I will try and get a picture, but as far as I can tell everything is missing. Everwho stole it put a hood on it that covers all the way to the windshield. I can order a new valance but it is the workings I need help with. I will order the manuals.

My suggestion is that you buy the assembly manuals. All the parts are there in the body and moulding section. Page M65 or thereabouts.
There's a pile of little pieces that you'll need. You might want to see if you can find a car locally or at a junk yard.
Good luck

You need the assembly instruction manual (AIM) for '69. Everything is there, including the original part numbers, notes on the factory installation, assembly drawings, etc.
