you can see in the picture above and below how the 58-9 inner fender bolts on to the radiator core. the fender and grill bolt to the inner fender. it is my understanding 55-57 is different
Yeah mine is kinda different. My inner fender supports the hood support bar and does have some attachments for the grill but I feel the outer should mount 1st and then the inner because the inner sits on top of the outer. Which yours seems it might also. Probably could start the same way as you with inner and then outer. Right now trying to figure how to cut my inner fender for mustang clearance since its already painted eep! Then I will try mounting everything
This is only photo I have at the moment.
