How many timnes have you had the side panels off your car? How about the hood. It is amazing how much easier it is to work in the engine bay with these parts removed.
The hood has been removed at least a half dozen times. |

Only about 4 times for the side panels. The hood not yet. I hate to take that off cuz she fits soooo nice. One thing to keep and eye on when taking off the side panels though. When I removed my drivers side panel for the first time last year...the bottom retaining clip closest to the front of the Prowler virtually crumbled in my hand due to rust!!! You are right though Marty...it's so much easier to work on the Prowler with them off. I find I can never reinstall them without doing some major cleaning. Brian |

I have had the side panels off about a dozen times. Sometimes to work on it other times just for a thorough detail job. The hood has been off once when the car was repainted. |

At least I think I did it right. Strangest thing though...I still have a half a box of parts left over and can't figure out where they go. Brian |

Had the passenger side panel off to ease access to the air filter. Lots of little 'shims' fell out from the top bolts. Took me awhile to align everyting back up. Mine is a 99. Took the grill out to install Obi-wan's negative battery cable. The grill takes about 2 minutes to remove. |

Side panels so many times I can't count. Each time I completely detail everything in sught including waxing, anal, you bet. But with the hood once I installed Stephens LS Technologies hood struts I have so much room, wouldn't even think of hood removal. This message has been edited by 392HEMI on 04-06-2006 at 07:00 PM |

Only had the left side off once to charge the battery.I find it easier than removing the cover over the battery. |
