55-59 Camaro Clip Question... Installing front bumper (side brackets)

Hey, how did you guys modify your outside brackets to mount the front bumper brackets? (I think I already know the answer... just custom fabricate new brackets for the outsides...)
I welded the front horns back in place so the radiator support mounts in the factory location, but where the side mounts would bolt up is the unsymetrical camaro section of the frame...

anyone have pics of their bumper brackers on a camaro clip front ?

thanks...

I just drilled and tapped the Camaro frame were the bracket sits. Works fine.

I shortened mine a few inches, to line up with one of the holes in the subframe.
