Exactly

You can find the location of the bolts by checking out the diagram in the FSM. I bet you're overlooking the two lower bolts underneath the rocker, possibly hidden due to curb smash. Pretty common to have damage where those bolts are.

There are I believe 3 along the edge of the hood. 2 behind the corner light. Remove the splash guard and you will find 3nuts connecting it to the front bumper. If I remember correctly there are 2 bolts right by the front door hinges. Wiggle a bit and Voila!

I was actually thinking about the suicide doors earlier. I'd suicide the rear doors so it would be like a 60's Lincoln Continental.

I owned one for a little while about 15ish years ago. Gas then was around a $1 a gallon. Paid $1,500 for it, and I really wish i'd kept it. You can't even find a bare shell for that price now.

It was a 65. Last year for that dash design which was my favorite, and the first year for front disc brakes, and the new 462 MEL engine that replaced the 430 MEL engine. It didn't have the original engine, but a later model 460 and I believe a C-6 transmission, but I can't remember exactly.

It was rough. Paint was faded, interior was worn but not too bad. One of the spring coils in the seat back was partially broken off so I had to lean to one side to keep it from jabbing my lower back. I loved it and I should have never sold it since they sell for much more now compared to what I paid for it.

The FSM was posted because there is a section that shows how to remove all of the body panels. Its fairly easy to get off. Hard part is getting it back on and then dealing with the fender splash guard clips. Pain in the ***

slip a long extension in for the 3 nuts to the bumper cover
and 1 of the ones under the door hinge area might be cover by the mudflap,if has.
and a few on top and behind the corner light
