Measuring the Engine Compartment

I did some measurements on the engine compartment tonight in preparation for cutting off the rusted metal.

Removing the grill on a 1968 Mustang Coupe

The grill on my 1968 Mustang Coupe was held in place by six screws and three bolts.

The six screws were along the front of the grill, one high on each side, four along the bottom front.

These screws didn't all match each other and I have no idea if any of them are original. 

The two 1/2 inch head bolts were located at the top center on the outside edges of the hood latch bar support. 

The last fastener is a 5/16 inch head screw/bolt on the inside of the grill at the bottom, to the left of the center brace when facing toward the car, going down into a support brace.

The grill is off.

Next up on the list is probably the passenger side front fender.
