Has anyone pulled off their front wings? It looks relatively straight forward but I'll bet there are one or two hidden bolts that will give me grief. Still haven't figured out how to remove the wiring from the wings so I figure perhaps removal will make it easier..

 

im not sure what you're asking, post up a picture of the part your are refering to & I'll see if I can offer any help.

 

Many bolts on the hood line.


Two bolts at fender rearward base which are remove by accessing a void which is covered with a panel in the wheels well. (kick panel vent area) The bolts attach the fender to the rocker and are sometimes rusted badly.


Two bolts accessed from inside car when door is open. Best to use a ratcheting boxed wrench. Bolts are at the mid point of the fender.


Two bolts that connect the fender to the front valiance. These are the most difficult to remove. You may need a swivel.


Three or 4 bolts on the front of the fender which attach it to the radiator support.


The hood support spring attaches to the fender and has to be removed too.

 

Wings in the UK & AU and apparently BC. They are fenders in the USA

I come from the Japanese car scene, where wings are on the back sode of the cars...

 

My '64 and '65 cutlass have fenders, my jag-yoo-ah has wings!
Thanks for the rundown. Methinks I'll leave them on...
