'70 Challenger - what bar/bracket is missing

[slantfish]

What is the name of the bars that are missing here? Trying to get the right term to search for replacements. Does anyone have any available? 2 sets left and right side needed.

that part has a funky name... lemme google that for you.

I think that is a 1971-only part. the upper grille cross bar support and was not present on 1970 cars.

On a 1970 Challenger the grille mounts directly to the two holes, via small U-nuts, in the fender as shown in the following image:

The pieces are part of the grille assembly and not normally removable from the grille. They can be by drilling out rivets, etc.

The center of the grille mounts to the center bracket that ties the vertical support and core support upper section together, with two small brackets, or plates as shown in the following image:

One of the small brackets, or plates, is shown in the following image. There is a right and left side. The parts are stamped with "R" and "L":

The grille is further supported in the middle by an attached bracket on the underside, to the center vertical support.

Agree with @Vaanth if it is a 70, that is part of the grille assembly. Having my grille restored right now and had to piece all the parts together.

Vaanth sums it up nicely. Both of my 70 Challengers are the same.
