Default how big of PITA is...

the front fender to remove. I'm picking one up sat in dayton after the gtg and I'm trying to figure if I want to paint it off the car or on. Oh BTW this dude has some 17" and 18" forgeline's for sale as well as some hoosiers in the afforementioned rim sizes a spindle calipers from an S and such, says he's garage cleaning.

I'd paint the back of it while it is off the car and the front when it's on

It's not too difficult, you have to remove the fender liner, remove the bolts in the engine compartment, then there are a couple of other small ones at the front and under the undercoating on the inside of the fender well. The fender is "glued" on with a putty that must be gently cut while lifting the fender. If no problems are encountered, likely a 1 hour job by yourself.

Don't forget the 3 bolts inside the well, they go straight back and have the undercoating on them. Kinda hard to find, but there are 3 inside at the back of the fender.
