: '70 Front bumper filler panel questions

My car has the bumper, but the previous owner didn't bother installing the filler panel and it doesn't look too good. Are there any special brackets needed for the panel? I'm not sure how it bolts up, and I haven't seen one out of a car so I don't know how it all goes together.

Once you get a panel and set it up in place, it will be obvious where/how it bolts to the bottom of the core support and the bottom of the center grille brace.

Shawn,you'll need to drop the front bumper to attach it.It's pretty straight forward.A couple of bolts hold it unto the fender extensions,and another unto the hood latch assembly.
