Not sure I want to or will do this, but if so what is the best sequence to remove the entire thing, piece by piece? I don't need a bolt by bolt description, just the big picture. Wink

Removing the clip in one piece isn't an option for me for several reasons. Unhappy

Everything, including the core support, which I would imagine would be last off. Wheel wells can stay on the fenders if that works better/easier for removal. Although if I do this eventually they would have to be separated.

Thanks,
Russ

Well, my being bored has paid off.
I am going back and reading posts (again), on page 21 right now.
Found this.
http://forum.grantorinosport.org/recommended-order-of-assembly-front-clip_topic10595.html
from 2014.
It is reassembly order, but I think my brain is still capable of reversing the order.
Thanks,
Russ

Not a problem.
Nice to post something other than a question once in a while.

Thanks, John. Although I hate reading your thread, it makes me want to do more than I should with the car. LOL

Just remember to take off the grille and surround first. They are fragile and fairly unobtainable.
