I've done it on other cars but can the front clip of a 55 be removed all together... the left, right fenders with front grille together and set off to the side? I would think it could be unbolted from the frame and cowl posts. Thanks in advance,
Yes, if you have enough help. Just unbolt it as you described. You also have two brackets attached to the inner fender that is bolted to the firewall (cowl). One on each side. :anim_25: bowtie-trifive :gba:
Yes and its not too difficult. Removing the front bumper bracket to frame bolts is the hardest part. Two people can easily lift it off. you don't have to remove the hood.
Guys, that all looks easy enough but what about the wiring (horns, lights, volt reg etc) that is all attached. Does it just unplug from the firewall? If I remember, I saw cables go right thru the firewall without any connectors near there.

When the car was assembled at the factory, the front clip was installed assembled as one piece.
