I'm building out the front end of my "71 cuda" from scratch.

Does anyone have any pics of the front-end mid-assembly (perhaps just before bumpers)?

I've been searching the archives here, but can't seem to find any pictures of the lower mounting points for the grill...

Middle ones NOT used, outside ones require separate brackets sold separately of course

Today I'm thankful for Alan answering all of our questions on here...  :thankyou:

Middle ones not used!!! :haha: That was driving me absolutely bonkers.

I did purchase that other bracket set. Thank you!

This drawing (which I believe shows a 71 grill with a 70 header) is very confusing...

I found this picture in another post... It seems to show a longer bracket fitting in those.

Have you seen one of these?

Personally, in my 39 years of restoring Mopars with a lot of 71 Cudas under my belt, I have NEVER seen those, However I'm not going to say they don't exist, because I'm sure someone out there has an obscure picture of them on their extremely early built 71 :'(
