Front Clip removal

[Boss/Cyclone]

What do I have to do to pull the front clip.  This is my first 57 and I am ready to test fit the 4.6   I just thought I would ask before going out and doing something not necessary.  Thanks in advance.

core support has one bolt in the center...might have a spring

open the doors...one bolt just below the windshield on the A pillar and another half way down (from the interior) and a third under the rocker at the bottom of the A pillar

one on the cowl next to the adjustable hood bumper

one through the inner fender into the firewall/cowl

unplug the headlight/turnsignal harness

I rigged up a spreader bar between the fender wells and use a cherry picker to assist with removal

PAINT WILL BE SCRATCHED!!!!!!!!!!!  If you are saving the paint,  take it apart in pieces.

Thanks Gary for that quick and excellent answer.  Saved me from looking around and guessing.  Not worried about paint, it will need paint before its done.

Name the time, I'll start the coffee!  I'll be out there messing around till about 1:30 then off taking the kids to their softball games.
