'69 fender removal

[66FBCharger]

Is it possible to remove a front fender without physically removing the front grille assembly on a '69 Charger?
Does anyone have any tips to aid in the replacement of the fenders on my Charger?
Also, are there any vendors that sell AMD fenders at the Mopar Nats, that will have the fenders at the show? I would like to look at the fenders and pick the one i want, as opposed to having to pay for shipping and return if there are dings or dents.

NO, you have to pull the grille/header panel out (I would anyway to keep the risk of breaking it down)

That is what I figured, but thought it doesn't hurt to ask.

The fender itself will in fact come off with the grille and bumper still in place.  The problem areas are the two bolts on each side that hold the grille frame to the inside nose of the fender. IF you can get those out, and the rest of the attaching hardware has been removed:  Pull out at the bottom behind the front wheel, lift straight up, pull outward about 8 inches and then pull the whole fender rearward. It's a prick, but it can be done.
