Re: Removing entire front end sheet metal - advice please!
I like to remove the inner wheel wells & bumper then take the whole clip off ( with the help of a strong friend). I set the clip on the floor- I feel its easier to get to the front fender & grill bolts when its off the truck. Just the way I like to do it

Re: Removing entire front end sheet metal - advice please!
I reassemble piece by piece, start with the core support then inner fenders then fenders. One common oversight that people make is forgetting the shims between the inner fender and the cab brace. It will ruin your panel alighnment between your fender and door. Loosely attach your inner fenders at the brace, hang the fenders (after the doors have been alighned) and then shim the inner fender as necessary.
