Took Front End Off

Bet ya didn't know you could do this, with the hood remaining in place.
This will be a great for the engine install. No scratches used plastic pry tools one on each side and it slipped off.
Captainfab said it could be done, so I jumped in.
Going back on I'm going to need at least one person to help me though.

Re: Took Front End Off

Thanks buddy.
I'm going to crawl under it this morning and wipe it down again. Maybe take it off the blocks now. It'll be great when I get an engine and trans to install. Well I have a 200R4 but it needs to be rebuilt. Then it'll be fun. I have an engine from ATK engines picked out but they want cash not good looks so I'll have to wait.

Firewall white or cream? Looks great whatever it is. Can't wait to see it all together.

My first try. I thought about it previously when I had the grill support off but was afraid the front fenders would sag under weight. So much for thinking.
