More disassembly today. Removed the drivers side horn and took the fresh air tube out. Between the tube and the fender, I found a combination wrench! Wasn't even one of mine and made in the USA! Also noticed for the first time, there is a leather? box coming out of the fender that gives you access to the motor mount. Is that supposed to be there or something that a previous owner added?
Once the tube was out, I unhooked the headlight wires and the front harness (goes across the radiator) from the junction blocks and removed the blocks from the fender. Next I broke the bottom bolt at the back of the fender that was rusted away. Removed the bolt on the cowl and the front bolts around the radiator support. Fender wouldn't release from the back when I noticed a sheet metal screw holding it in. Took it off and the fender pulled right out. I was amazed on how light it was. When it is on the car, it feels so thick and heavy.
