fender problem
has anyone taken off the passengers side front fender off of thier 3rd gen fbody?
i am in the process of fixing my'88 firebird and have all the bolts and screws off of the fender but there is 2 things that are holding it together. the antenna and a bolt underneath the car that i cant seem to get loose. but my biggest problem is the anntena. i dont have a power antenna. and i unscrewed the actual antenna but there's still a part of it that i cant take off. i tred to pry it off with a screw driver but no luck. also underneath the car right by the mud flap there's a bolt under the car i cant seem to take off either. i attached pics of both problems i'm having. anything will help. thanks.

Re: fender problem
antenna part should twist off, should have 4 teeth notches you can use to turn it and twist it off.
and the reson you cant get the bottom botl off is because that car either hit a high rock or high sewer main going through a road under contrustion and bent the whole piece up into the body. my car had that too.
take soem heavy duty pliers and bend it back down then you can gert to the head of the bolt and take it out.
