1970 front upper section removal ?

Looking to rip out my front upper section directly under the radiator cover for SB and PC.
(Sandblasting and Powdercoating.)

It looks like this just comes out with 3 bolts holding it to each fender,
and 3 bolts holding the hood latch in place, however, it's not coming out.

Does this ENTIRE front end clip behind the headlights going fender to fender UNDER
this have to come out in one piece ?? Anyone know where I can get a body diagram
that shows how this gets put together/disassembled ?? Thanks.

That's all welded together,as part of the core support.The radiator top plate unbolts,and the front grille support unbolts,but the rest is all welded together.To remove the whole core support,you need to unbolt it from the fenders and from the frame.

Yeah,
What Brian says, you have to remove the whole thing. Battery tray, front of the inner fenders, front lower fender braces, all front light & horn wiring, fan shroud, front of fender eyebrows, radiator, etc....

Ahh ......oh well. Looks like I have more work to do then.
Thanks guys.

Maybe my new fender wells will go in ALOT easier this way.
Because I had one hell of a time getting the pass side out.
