I'm working on rebuilding the front suspension now. The next hurdle will be to re-install the front fender aprons and radiator support. Whatever braces were there to support these pieces is gone too.
Can someone give me a diagram of what pieces I need? I have contacted two sheet metal suppliers asking for help and no one has responded as of yet and I haven't had much luck looking online myself. I don't have better pictures right now but maybe you can see there's nothing


Got the rear end in and wheels on

Thanks guys !

I should have been posting updates. So far I have replaced the firewall, upper cowl, full floor and now installing new fender aprons so this will be a fast forward ... Working on attaching the radiator support now. How are the upper and lower supper pieces attached to the side pieces?
And can someone tell me what size clips and bolts I need for attaching the fenders to the aprons?

I pretty sure both upper and lower radiator support pieces were original spot welded on. As to bolts to attach fenders I would say go to ebay and search e-body fender bolts, you'll find full bolt/clip/stud kits for attached both fenders.

Great - thanks! And what about the junction where the top support meets the apron; do you know if it's spot welded there too? I appreciate your help.

I had the same idea about the bolts right after I posted this.. I'll be able to find it there. Thank you!
