Default How do you separate the front clip from the firewall?

I have a 76 that I'm removing the front clip from and was wondering how to remove the clip from the firewall? Also do you remove the thin cowl piece? Thanks in advance!

Are you trying to save it or just get it off?

Just did this on my 76. Use a good putty knife and a hammer to pry the fender from the cowl. Some places you can use an air grinder to cut it off. I spent about 20 hrs. pulling mine apart. take your time, the less damage you do will minimize body work later. Here are some pics of my project.
Email me, I have a lot more pics and details I can post. Going to crash now, have an 8am class today!

P.S. You should have asked last weekend when I was in Windsor!!!!!

I don't understand why a personal assault like this on a person wouldn't result in at least a 50% demerit penaly. Maybe I'm wrong.
