Had a frustrating day yesterday.   I decided to take the whole front end off to do this, because I decided to fix the rust in the right inner fender (battery area)  and some rust in the front core support.   And it would make this much easier to work on.

Broke a bumper bracket frame bolt, had to cut another off with a saw, broke several fender fasteners.  the bumper slipped off the jack on me and put four more scratches in the rapidly deteriorating paint.  

Just going to concentrate on all the mechanicals right now...........worry about the paint later

Here I thought Id have the whole front half tore off yesterday, but the only bolts that cooperated were the grill.  and since its never been apart, the fender to inner fender sealer is like friggin concrete!  

Things are a lot different than working on a Mustang.  Its all bigger and 3 times as heavy!  

Ford definately used a different type of bolt on these cars, a higher grade and finer threads.  What happened to me was a lot of nuts stripped out on me.

I finally got the passenger side all off.  Heres pictures of what I have to fix.
