Swapping out the andereggen front crossmember for Scott Danforths GM metric crossmember on my 49 suburban.What is the easiest way to remove the front end sheet metal?Piece by piece fender by fender or the entire front clip in one big chunk? I have never done the entire front clip before so I am asking for step by step advice on how to accomplish this. Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

Search for "Front Clip Removal Help". Look in results for an article started by DMGfifty. I believe there is also a video in that article. Good Luck and let us know how it works out.

If your hood and fenders have good fit and alignment, I've always found it eaiser to take the front sheet off as a unit, just get a couple helpers to lift it off. It helps if the the front wheels have been removed.
