remove front clip as one piece
I'm getting close to finishing up the bodywork on my '68 firebird project and have everything on the front clip lined up really well. Question is, can I remove the front clip as one piece (excluding hood and cowl of course) by just removing the two front tires or do I have to modify anything? Will the front suspension need to be removed to clear the inner wheel wells?
Car has manual brakes and auto trans. Thanks |

If you remove the tires, the front clip can be removed as one piece. Unbolt the wheel housings at the rear where they bolt up to the frame, often forgotten to do.
Good luck. |

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll need to gather 2 - 3 friends for help as well as case of beer (served afterwards)

Maybe get 2 cases, the other one is for putting it back on. Use caution though...serve only when job is completed. good luck!
