I seem to be unhappy with a simple engine rebuild that I have to completely redo the engine bay!

I got the Rust Bullet Friday, thinking I’m just going to paint the “A” arms and the frame. BUT NOOOO, I have to remove the wiring harness so it's out of the way, the grill was next because I don’t want overspray on it etc etc.
I decided to have the hinges powder coated, and while I’m at it, I thought I’ll have the radiator support done!

So fender removal, is it just these bolts w/shims? Anything I need to be aware of? Any reason I shouldn’t remove these fenders?
Also, thinking of removing the heater core too, is this hard? Basically, I want to remove the outer shell on the fire wall. Is it just the exterior bolts for this?

Thanks,
s/t
