<VV> Another '62 disassembly question

[Shaun]

The fender emblems are just pushed into barrel clips, they pry off.
The headlight bucket has a nut on the back that needs to come off. If the 
horns are in the stock location still, it's attached to that, along with a 
shield. Look up in the fender, you'll see it... usually the stud that the 
nut is on will snap, or worse, the peened over head attached to the bucket 
will spin. The only way then is to drill out the stud or cut or pry it out 
of the bucket.

yea, Vairily ... Shaun
