Front sheet metal help

hi
I need help with reassembly of front supports, sheet metal. Fenders are hung, but I can't figure out how the upper cross bar and lock vertical support mount to the front/core support. I tried the Fsm with not much luck. Thanks. Erik

What year car?

The radiator support frame ties into a tab under the hood stop on top of the fender and on the inner fender. The bottom grill support and hood latch rails tie in to the head light buckets and the bottom of the fenders, these tie together with a two piece bracket/support in the center under the hood latch to hold the correct spacing for the grill. The headlight buckets are attached to the fenders. This is on my 69 b body that I'm replacing the front frame rail and inner fender on; work that hopefully will come to a successful conclusion by the end of next week...weather permitting. The driver side is off while all I described is still attached and suspended off the passenger side. The bumper, grill, radiator, motor and k-frame are removed so I have a pretty good view of how it all goes together. I can take a few pictures to give you a better idea if that will help.
