Default Removing my front fender

I've taken all the small bolts, screws and nuts off that attached the front fender to the car. I've even removed the headlight assembly to get to the nuts at the front point of the fender. It seems to me there should be nothing attaching the fender to the car anymore, but I can't remove it. Its loose at all edges but it won't come off and I don't want to ruin anything but it won't come off at the very front. Anything that I'm missing that I don't see? Does anyone having pictures of it removed so I might get a clearer picture?

There are bolts in the wheel well area around the perimeter, bolts attached to the front fascia through a metal bracket, there is also a few more underneath closer to the door. If you have them all off you still have to work at it, it will bend a little.

here is a link with pics.
