Re: Fender Removal

So any deviations with a '72?

While I need to take both off, I will do one at a time starting with the driver's side I think (so washer bottle comes off). It is safe/okay to disconnect one side of the hood hinge? I assume since I don't want to muck up my inner fender's paint I should have it lay on something soft or rubber?

I've read take the hood off and the hinges. Seems if you do one at a time, with proper marking/taping of the hinge you remove, you'll have a better time with the hood being back where it was. Also, seems to lead me to believe it could be a "one man job" too.

Edit
Looks like this YouTube, How to remove a fender panel and door on a 1971 Chevy C10 pretty much follows your list @pjmoreland. Though he disassembled his whole headlight to get to some bolts. Then don't forget about the marker light - which in my case is now a complete LED replacement and likely a bit more of a hassle for me.

Cool to just see the hood stay in place with it disconnected and totally shows how he did it himself. Though I think I'll completely remove my bumper - I don't want to be bumping the fender on it at all.
