            I have a problem.  I am putting the nose back on the front of my 88 GT.  I know the car was wrecked at some point in its past, and am finding now missing bolts and harware from a freaking hack job of a "repair".  On this reassembly, it appears that the upper condensor support bracket bolts are missing.  Not just that, but the hole in the support for a bolt should thread in to is missing the hardware for the bolt to go into.  Here is a picture of what I am talking about:

  The holes look like the need some kind of insert...  Anyone got any pics of what it is I need?
  Thanks, Phil

            Thanks everyone for the info.  I actually ended up just installing some nutcerts and using them.
  I think I spent about three hours today tweaking and straightening the lower radiator support on my GT.  I still would rather just buy a new (good used) one as mine was over tweaked by a previous wreck anyway.
  Tomorrow I move on to trying to heat up and get the dips out of my front bumper cover.  I wish someone made a fiberglass aero verion that fit well and had foglight provisions.
  Thanks again!

  haha...about that... I know where one is but I'm not sure if he wants to make the bumper for someone else.
