how to remove a 63 front clip????

[63vetteguy]

I know this has more than likely been covered but I am new to the site so be gentle. I need to remove the front clip of my 63 so I can do some repairs but I want to reuse the same clip. Any body have a link to a site that will show a step by step way to remove the front clip? Thanks

I did my 70 Coupe after an accident. Front clip was mangled,wasn't interested in saving it. Where the clip meets the doors, two bonding area's each side , steel putty knife seperated it. Brackety on the nose isn't too bad. I'm sure someone with more experience will chime.....the trick is getting back together perfectly

Thanks mud I will look at the fenders around the doors and see if can see the seam.

I'm no expert, (necessity rules), but I can't see how you can unglue the front clip on an older Vette and not mar the finish......

That car needs to be paint anyway and the front needs some body work so that will not hurt anthing I just do not want to spend 3k on a new clip if I can use this one.
