    where are all the bolts to remove a fender?

    i might have a lead on two fenders for chrsitine, but if i pull them myslef it will be cheaper than 75 apiece for the yard to pull them. one of the mhas minor surface rust around the cornering light, no biggie but they are solid and straight. i know there are two bolts holding the hood on there on each side but where are the rest. i don't care about the wheelwell trim and shit, just the fender. so where exactly are all the bolts. believe it or not the ford shop manual lists nothing on removing the fenders,lol

    one or two on the bottom, by the lower corner of the door.

    and the three that connect to teh header panel, a REAL BITCH to get off! :yuck:

      Most fenders you will need extensions and swivel sockets to get through the open door jam gap.

          alrighty, i didn't realize that one of the fenders was bent a bit,lol. so i grabbed one. rather than destroy the header panel, i took it off the right way should someone going in there need one. the top nut on the header panel was teh hardest. but i made do with a swivel and one long extension. all in all

          3 header panel nuts
          2 bolts underneath the rad overfill
          2 bolts in the wheelwell
          1 bolt hidden in the wheelwell
          2 bolts just under the door
          2 bolts holding the hood spring to the fender and body
          2 bolts holding the fender to the wiper cowling

          and a partridge in a muthafucking pear tree,lol

          the fender i got was the drivers side which is the worst one anyway. this one does have rusty but if i get it now it will be manageable. i'm also removing the electrnioc fi badges and that ugly moulding,lol
