the fenders bolt to the cowl on each side at the rear. the front ends have fender extensions which the inner fenders wrap around and bolt up to there. there is a couple of bolts at the top of the rad support on each side which attaches to the fenders. there is a cross bar that goes below the grille as well and bolts to the inner fenders at the front lower part. the inner fenders bolt to the tops of the fenders and there is also an L bracket on the lower part of the firewall that uses a rubber bushing in the inner fender and they bolt up there. the staples are to hold the rubber edge seal that keeps road dirt out of the engine bay and keeps any metal to metal contact from happening should there be a problem with body flex over a speed bump or side hill or if the rad support bushings get so bad things move around a lot.
