I have gone to eBay for a few parts, here's a link that has some on it if you don't mind shopping through the auction: http://search.ebay.ca/radiator_Parts...QQsofocusZmppf

Here's some inner fenders: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Camar...2205QQtcZphoto

Hope this helps a bit

It should work, but the best way is to find a junk car and get the clip from there...you'll have to change the fenders as well...I have a friend that turned a 73 to an 80 so i'm sure you can do it the other way.
