My advice is not to remove a front end if you don't have to and especially if you are considering selling the car. Post a pic of the crack you want to repair.

if you do not need to pull the front clip, don't do it.
Do not bite off more than you can handle, a front clip is a huge undertaking.
post pictures and ask for repair thoughts. 69VETT
