71 Cuda Grill Install
« on: November 01, 2008 - 10:39:56 PM »
Does anyone have any pictures of the support brackets/locations?  I'm wondering if there were brackets halfway between the outers and the center for the bottom.  The grill has holes there like there should be a bracket, but I've got nothing on my car.

 ;)If you look in a factory body manual they show an L shaped bracket supporting the lower area between the outer edge and the center.Your grill has tabs built in for them but I have never seen them on any cars and I have looked at several to see what they are suppose to look like and have'nt come across any yet.I made some up to look like the ones in the manual.hope this helps

Thanks!  How close did they end up to the bumper brackets?
