Now that my car is running and stopping, I need to install the front clip.  Is there any assembly diagram or schematic showing how to install the 67 Shelby nose, headlight buckets (inboard), grilles and support brackets?  I could likely figure it out but having a guide would be great.  I hear it's a ton of fun to get the fiberglass nose on, but getting all the lights and brackets on and working is where I am now.

I have some electronic copies of illustrations like this one.  If you want copies, PM me with your email and will forward what I can, good luck

There were many variations thought-out the production run, your car/parts may not look quite like some of these examples.  would help to know the car number or which high-beam light location you have, Inboards or Outboards.  OK, I see you have car #683 Guessing you have inboards and the two-piece grill, and you probably have the "Flat-Plate" mounting brackets at all four headlights.  (if you need the rubber grommets that go in the back of the headlight buckets I have them, also the lower grille, bottom edge protective strip))

See reply #8 on this thread regarding this topic, hope this helps...

Thanks all for the quick assist as usual!  I have the AMK kit so I should be in good shape.
