    Does anyone have a diagram of where the bolts are located, to remove the front clip, on a '54?

    Jeff just beat me! Basically, 2 bolts underneath each front fender attaching to the rocker panel, remove splash shields and there are 2 bolts each side bolting upwards to the firewall, 1 bolt w/spring attaching core support to frame, 2 bolts each side connecting tops of fenders to firewall....I think that's it! I just removed each piece as I went along.

    Jeff, thanks for the parts pictures

    Evintho, thank you.
    I went out and looked, I found those bolts but, I found another, back behind the air duct/hood hinge, does that one have to come out? It's a little hard to get at.

    Horrible pic, but got mine out with an extension once the kick panel is out of the way. Bolt half way up on the fender by the door hinge
