Default 70'-73' Camaro. Please read

I have a 73' Z28 with what I believe has 22k original miles (because of the fact that my dad picked it up in 75', left it to rot and by inspecting it, it is not hard to tell).
Anyway, he gave it to me in 1994, I painted it, put new shocks and drove it for a little bit before I backed it into a phone pole. I put it away and have been tinkering with it ever since.
This year I went crazy, dumped about 10 grand into it, oh by the way, the damage was fixed but that's it.
-I blasted and coated the front subframe with POR-15 and did the best I could with the rear and underbody along with the rest of the suspension.
-I changed all bushings including the body with polyurathane.
- new brakes,
-racing seats
-1980 door panels cause they are so simple and made better
-carpet
center console
-door handles
-all weather stripping
-autometer gauge set (6 total) including mounting plate
-new paint, rear spoiler bumpers, grill, radiator support and front spoiler. (painted it 2005 corvette red) no stripes yet
-Got all emblems
-ceramic 1 5/8 headers and 2 1/2" flowmaster exhaust
-H.E.I ignition, bosch plugs, msd wires, msd 6AL box
-20" boyd Coddington "Smoothie II" wheels & Nitto tires (fit so perfect they look stock)

ANYWAY I am missing pieces like the rear bumper mounts and some front end parts... I don't even know how to put the front bumper and marker lights in (non split-bumper) also headlight mounts.
I baught the window felts but am not sure how they go, I feel like an idiot because I did everything else myself.

WHAT I NEED are some pictures of the front with the hood open, so I can see the hood latch and marker light brackets hooked up to the bumper. Also, the rear bumper installed. It sounds dumb but I think I am overwhellmed and I need some support.
Anybody that can help me finish her and I will be gratefull.
Alex
