HELP! Front fender removal

[jj big shoe]

I've got the inner fender and all the bolts I can see out (behind the marker light, under the hood and in the door jamb) but its still stuck by the windshield. Is there a bolt hidden under the cowl (the body panel with the black air vents below the windshield) or is it clipped or something and you just pull forward on the fender? If there's a bolt, how do you remove the cowl?

Thanks.

Yeah, I found the ones behind the corner light. It was the hidden one up by the windshield that had me stumped.

The new door pins are in but I could only get one of the brass bushings replaced so there's still a little play in the hinge, but it looks like it would still have the play with all new bushings anyway. The hinge pin hole itself seems rounded out because the knurled bit on the pin doesn't seat tight in the hole so the hinge is riding on the pin instead of grabbing it and spinning the pin inside the bushing. Oh well, I guess it'll have to be replaced in another 20 years or so.

Man, hanging a door by yourself isn't easy. You should've seen the Rube Goldberg-type contraptions I came up with using the crap lying around the garage. Storage bins, a floor jack, 2x4's, screwdrivers wedged between the tire and hinge bottom...but it lines up now and I can close the door with one finger instead of slamming it.
