Front fender-inner fender R&R

Hey guys,

I've searched but haven't turned up anything significant. Has anyone documented removal/reinstall of the front fenders and inner fenders so that everything lines up properly when they go back together? I am preparing to pull a lot of my front clip off for detail/paint work and want to ensure everything goes back together cleanly! I can work on engines all day long but body work is for those with much more patience than I! :-)

Thanks!

Before taking it apart, align the body panels as best you can. Once satisfied with gaps, drill a 1/8.inch hole through overlapping body panels and mountim surfaces. Upon reassembly, use the drill bit to index the panels exactly as before.
