68 Dart fender removal

Morning! Last night I was trying to remove the fenders off of my 68 Dart 4 door, and noticed that there was one more bolt (near the antenna on the passenger side) that is impossible to get too unless the doors are removed. My question is, am I missing something, or do I REALLY need to remove the doors to get to this bolt? Its something I don't really want to have to do unless necessary. Just want to see if you guys know of any tricks!

Thanks,

-Nick

Its just 4 bolts to remove the door right? thats not to bad....unless there rusted on there..then you can soak them with PB-blaster and let them sit over night & try again (repeat as necessary) ...much easier to remove the door...if you cant for what ever reason, as a last resort you can use a saw-zaw with a metal cutting blade and clip the head off the bolt..If you can get to the head with the blade..but then you will have to get the remaining bolt out to install a new one...Much easier to just remove the door IMO.
But someone else might have another idea....let us know what you end up doing.

I am not sure that is right. I know you have to remove the brace at the front underneath and the bolts on top.

The fenders can be removed without pulling the doors off.
