What Wrench(s) Do You Use

Front clip's now on the 68/71.

before the front clip was on, I thought I did a pretty good job of getting the door lines straight, using my son-in-law for a helper.
Well, it's way off. So I called a body guy that was willing to come to the shop (the truck's not running yet).

Now that the front fenders are in the way, what wrench can I find to use in order to get to the door hinge bolts
(you know, the ones with the 9/16" heads that are now hiding in there)?

The guy coming on Monday knows what he's doing...I'll just be HIS helper...but I think he expects me to have the tool
for this one, as he's not strictly a Chevy Truck guy.

Am I screwed?

Not easy but doable.
Try offset wrenches, a very shallow wobble socket
or a crowsfoot. Good luck!
