I've started my frame off resto. I'm trying to remove the front clip and the bottom rear bolt on each fender just spins :( . Can someone share the secret of getting them out short of using a torch :confused: Thanx for your help!

Cut or grind off the head of the bolt.Then it should come off, and use new hardware to reinstall.

I used my small air saw I have used a cut off wheel before and made to cuts in the form of an x just don't cut through the fender.

stay away from the torch I sure that there are leaves behind the fender and inside the cowl plus the heat will warp the panel.

The other factor is what is the condition of the fenders??? If it needs lower patch panels than just cut the fender.
