1970 Challenger grille mounting

[Doc Corey]

I've decided to go with '70 Grille in my '71, 'cause I want a new one, and I refuse to pay 1500$ for a cracked, warped, repaired, pitted, etc. original '71 grille. Besides, I like the '70 much better. And, I have a brand new pair of NOS /70 headlight bezels. My car was a basket case when I bought it with no grille, or the upper grille support. However, it DID have the two little rectangular brackets ( 2-3" long) loosely hanging on the hood latch mount. I think those two little brackets are actually for a '70. Also, had a /70 tail light panel. Anyway, I'm asking if there are any more brackets needed to mount the '70 grille besides these two little rectangular brackets on top, and the 'triangular' bracket on bottom. I'd also like to know how the ends of the filler panel join to the headlight bezels or fenders.

This might help.

Yes that does help. Thanks. Those two shiny bars that run from the hood latch bracket to the fenders: they look like flat straps but I imagine they are L shaped and attach to the back side of the grill?

Never mind about the strips.....I see them on the dynacorn grill.
