How the heck do I get the front fascia off of a charger? I've tried over and over again and I have no idea how it's all held on! I want to get it off to make putting in the IC easier.

I keep seeing pictures of L-bodies with the fronts off and it's mocking me!!!!

Jack the frt of the car up and place on jackstands, pull both wheels, pull plastic inner panels-- at very frt, under fender you will find 5, 10 MM nuts on each side holding faica to fender --use socket and long extension and spray with rust pent,--rest of the bolts can be seen around hood latch assembly--bobr19

And if the rust penetrant doesn't work gently insert a sawzall blade between the fender and facia and pull the trigger. A hacksaw might be wiser if your more timid and don't have a few spare facias around. Every Shelby Charger I've pulled apart has had messed up fasteners on the facia that gave me trouble.

Yup, the fasteners will pull out of the fiberglass support and spin, and spin, and spin............... BIG PITA, I am using antiseize when I reassemble.
