Ill grab a few pics this weekend if i cant remember to. Install is super easy just need a few clamps and drill 4 holes just like mounting the valance your taking off. I used mustangsplus one required a little sanding to get some of the fit around the ratiator and 2 cuts for the headlight buckets. Fit was good just a tiny bit of work to be perfect, was better fit then my 67 shelby stuff i got from tony branda.

Im pretty sure thats it, doesnt seem like much but it is, mine is very solid feeling. It goes over the front frame cross member and that gives it support also.
