Then two on top and two on the bottom of the center support. The lower one is smaller than the others.
Then a couple on the hood latch. Depending on how you take this apart, still attached to the center support or not.
Accessing the fender bolts is the most difficult. I would try a extension with a ball socket style wobble.
Thanks for the insight.
I have to take my bumpers off anyway, so I can sand down and repaint them.
Good tip on marking the bolts, to make sure they get back to the right spot.
What I do on a complex project like this is to put the bolts on a piece of cardboard with pictures, just because I can’t remember everything, and just putting them in “Labeled bags” doesn’t always work.
