Sorry guess.  I dont want to screw up my front grill....it was  :bigmoney: :bigmoney: :bigmoney: :bigmoney:

I have a 73 Cuda.  Bumper and lower valence out.  As for the front grill do I in the following order:

1. take out headlight bezels
2. take out head lights
3. remove front grill

As for the header panel, will it be okay to keep it installed as I pull the grill?

THANKS

wrap a chain around the grille use a truck & drive away fast !! :looney:
  Ok Don't do this
bezels come out first
Headlights do not need to be removed
then remove all the grille mounting screws often they re into the header panel

The same thing can be accomplished by parking in front of A tree, strap the grill down tie to the tree puy car in reverse and gun it. :Stirring: :haha: :rofl:   I have seen guys try to do structural repairs this way.  :looney:

@Chryco Psycho

Is it NOT possible to take the female end out of the fender  where the headlights bolts into it? Cars being media blasted so I'm trying to remove everything I can.

Basically can I leave the female end in the fenders is what I'm trying to ask.

CP I can't afford to do it your way so I used tools.

Good call on the tools  :thankyou:
the wiring will  all remove got it out , the factory got it in there it has to thread back through the fender

I have some AMD fenders laying around and I just looked in the nut is tacked on with some weld.  So the nut stays.  I'm assuming the media blaster can't destroy the nut?

Thanks CP, you always have my back!
