Front end removal

How hard is it to remove the front end?

I'm planning to take it off so I could repaint it from the inside, and wanted to know steps to take to do so.

Would I have to take out anything besides the raidator?

You mean, like, the front fenders right? Why would you want to paint the inside of them?

If you got your heart set on this why not get a remote cup spray gun and try to paint it without removing anything. Or you could pull the engine. That would be easier than taking the front of the car off.

See the post on doghouse removal. That is what some call it. Then decide if this is what you want to do.
