Help please! Hood removal

[cajun chevy]

Want to remove the left fender on my 72 c10 to adjust the door gaps. I believe I have to remove the hood before removing the fender.
My question is, is it better to remove the bolts from the hinges and hood or remove the bolts at the hinges and fenders leaving the hinges to the hood? Thank you, Marcel.

I always prop the hood up with a stick and take the hood off the hinges, that is if I'm doing it by myself!

i use engine crane to hold the front of the hood and remove the bolts that go into the hood(after marking the outline for reinstalling) then i can just walk it out without a fuss

That is what I will do. Thanks for the advice guys.

Removing a hood has always been an excuse to have a buddy or 2 come over and drink beer.
