Front sheetmetal question

I'm ready to pull my engine & trans to get it ready for a dropmember. Thinking it would be easier to take the front end sheet metal off first. The hood is easy enough but cam someone tell me where the bolts are located to pull the nose off in one piece.
Thx in advance.

Re: Front sheetmetal question

you have to learn how to do some of these things for yourself. if you are going to continue to work on these things, that is how you learn . trying to figure things out for yourself. these vehicles are not complex

Re: Front sheetmetal question

I have to agree with Padresag, however, be sure to bag and tag the bolts/nuts and small pieces so your project can go back together.
