Post a better picture of them? Body bolts (like the ones that attach your fenders) are around 1.5" long, the threaded area is about the width of a pencil, and they should have pointed ends.

E-brake retainer clip. I am not using mine since I don't have an e-brake and I'm too lazy to assemble the thing correctly.

That is why you bag and label as soon as removed. What an idiot they were.

It's tricky, I have sympathy. I've definitely got a bag of Spitfire bits labeled 'electrical widgets'. That's the only misc bag though, so I think that's not bad going.

I would think a good manual would tell you where those go, but not every one writes them up like Bentley. You might also be able to email like OPG or a place like Frank's Pontiac Parts and ask really nicely to identity the bolts, those serious restoration guys can look at a bolt count the threads, and be like oh that goes here. Like the guy on that show that does all the Mopar cars, he just know's, and you just might need parts from them too and it will lead to business for them and they know it and will usually be happy to help, like we have new bolts for that if you like.

Why don't you have an e-brake? Safety first!

The PO cut a section out of the cables, don't ask me why she did that. My car was last owned by a redneck lady.

I have two clips and a brand new cable(s) in the box. Just finished inventory of all my parts. I need a nap.

Those look like bolts for a CB mount. It IS a Trans Am. (joking, I'll show myself out)

I'm not too worried. It was more a poke of fun at the bag being the only one with question marks on it.

I've had a long two days of unboxing and photographing all the parts I have. Ugh, just realized I still need to get underneath and see what's still bolted to the bottom...

We'll good luck and have fun, nothing like wrenching on a project and seeing the fruits of your labor.

Thanks. Only fruits so far is sore hands and back, and my seat track bit me. Took a small chunk out of my palm.
