I’ve read all the threads that show removing the clips; they are giving me a fight. Here’s a pic of 1st clip. I used a Blair spot weld cutter on the top weld, then pried the clip a little so I could get my Dremel between the clip and the body. Took forever to cut through. Second pic is the body.
Am I missing something ? Last pic is the other side, which I haven’t started yet ***Pics are out of order Attached thumbnail(s)  Attached image(s)

Spot weld cutter can be tricky. You have to be careful not to make a hole... I used a spot weld cutter and grinder very slowly.

If used properly and carefully the spot weld bit should not make a hole. Go slow and drill out each one. Looks like you are doing fine except for the hole. I did the rears without error but did one hole on the front. Just go slowly.

Put painters tape on that paint so you don't scratch paint that you don't want to scratch.

Drill a small guide hole for each spot weld.....only through the clip. Position the guide hole so that the outside diameter of the cutter cannot reach the fender.
Grinding may be necessary after the "clip" is removed, not to remove it. |
