Removal of the front clip is easy but the first time it can be time consuming due to rusted bolts. On my 37 120 I could (and had to) remove the clip often, had it down to 20 minutes.

1. unbolt fenders from running boards
2. Unbolt fenders from bottom edge of cowl
3. Place milk crate etc under rear edge of fenders.
4. Remove large nut from bottom of radiator cradle
5. Remove upper/lower rad hoses
6. Unplug headlight wires near generator etc.
7. Disconnect generator, distributor, etc wires
8. Unbolt hood rods
9. Remove screws at front edge of hood, slide it out of read mount (may have to remove rear screws??) Remove hood
10. Now the front clip should be free, shake it, lift front to see if I forgot anything
11. Lift from each fender at top of wheel arch(2 people)
12. As you lift high move it forward over the wheels
13. Have 2 beers close at hand

14. I recall the central nut had a cotter pin, I left it out.
also used new bolts/nuts making second time a snap

good luck and let me know what I forgot since I last did it in 1962
