Picked up a 86 5.0 last year. Slowly going through it. First question of many to follow. The front fascia is riveted? fastened how? How do you remove those to do a better inspection of the front. Also, any tools that would help in removal and reinstallation.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

The fascia is riveted to its supporting structure. No sense in removing those. If you want the nose off there are bolts in the fenders and the radiator support.

So you can remove the supporting structure with the fascia attached? cool. Approximately how many bolts and screws are used? thanks for the info.

Should be three on each fender and two on the radiator support. Unhook the light harness and you don't have to remove the head lamps.
