M38A1 front Bumper holes

[Casey B]

Got the bolts out without a snap!
There were 4 on the rad shroud and 3 down each side on the fenders...and yes you are correct they didn't have to be taken out just loosened off. Undo the wiring connectors for the headlights and the whole grill assembly tilts forward neatly. Comes off and can be wired and worked on separately..
Why did they do away with this in CDN 2's and 3's? Seems like a good way to get at the engine for a re and re as well?
More cleaning to do now...

Here are some pic's showing the tilted grill and the headlight protectors doing what they were there to do and why...
