Disassembling, any tips?

I'm finally ready to disassemble the body of my '50 3100, looking for any tips, tool recommendations, etc. My goal is to remove all of the sheet metal, I will be using the cab for mock-up and storing the rest.

The bed is easy enough to remove, it's those rusty clutch bolts holding the fenders on that I'm worried about. The hood is a no-brainer but the front fenders also have basically rust blobs for bolts. Am I going to end up grinding/cutting every single bolt? Are the inner fenders and core support difficult to get to?

I have these tools at my disposal:

4.5" grinder w/ cut-off wheels
air cut-off tool
air sawzall (small)
air hammer
misc hand tools

NO torch.


Thanks
