Ok, that is good to know. The car did not have AC so I guess I don't need those panels.

As for the braces, I feel like a dark cloud has been lifted I had seen some chrome braces on a Camaro that ran from the radiator support to the fender but came towards the front of the car. I assumed I was missing those. Now that I look at the picture Jim posted of his engine compartment, I see that the braces run to the mid-fender.

I have GOT to find a local FGF owner so I have something to go off of. This message board (and all the kind folks who use it) have been a tremendous resource. I go back through this thread and feel like an idiot I must have my mind on a thousand differnet things I want to do to the car that I can't seem to see the forest for the trees!!!

Well, at least I have a handle on the parts I need. Now if I can only find the hardware to install them....
