Got the passenger side fender back on the car with the assistance of my oldest daughter. I put down a couple of clean rags on top of cowl and also on top of the core support. Just to keep the paint from getting scratched.
I threaded a plastic bolt into the top bolt hole on the cowl. That let me hook the top rear edge of the fender on that so I could jockey in into position. One note for future reference.... dont install the horns on the car until after the fenders are on, as they share a common attachment points.
With the fender in place I installed the top bolts (Cowl and and radiator core). I will install the bottom ones tomorrow.
I also replace the grommets where the heater blower motor mounts, and then replaced the rubber on the heater hose support and reinstalled that.
