'37 front end body questions

Hello again-

Looking for some pictures of the radiator core support and any brackets stiffening the front grill and fender area? I think my core support has some areas rusted out.

In the area on mine with the arrow, what is missing? There are four holes on each side of the core support, and when I pulled the radiator out, seven ground off carriage bolt heads were under the radiator. Help!

Also, looking in the '35-'39 Packard parts manual, I found a picture of what looks like a brace running from the grill perpendicular to the frame. Again, looking for a picture. Thanks!

I can't tell for sure what model your car is, but there should be the upper fender brackets bolted where your arrow is. Is there 3 or 4 holes for carriage bolts there (square holes)? If you look at some of the pictures on Henry's M/N 1182 restoration project in the blogs, you can see the brackets and such there. 37's are the same as 38's I believe.
