I’m will be removing the front fenders on my 74 Dart soon and was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to remove them. I see the bolts on top of the fenders and I already removed the front brace to the bumper. I imagine there is some in the wheel well area also. What else am I missing?

A couple on the radiator support behind the headlight area, and one just in front of the upper door hinge on the inside facing down (a stud with a nut) and the two at the bottom of the fender just in front of the bottom of the door.
The rest are pretty obvious.

Thank you that’s what I was wondering, the hidden ones.
 
Remove the splash shield first. Yours might be plastic, 67 they are steel. If it is an undercoated car many of the screw heads might be hidden, look up on Google for a splash shield for your year and note where the screw holes are.

My 67 also has some adhesive the full length of the mating surface between inner fender and fender. It was a little like spray foam.
 
There is one "hidden one" way up inside the back of the fender by the firewall(not the one facing down) There is a small rubber shield covering it up. The bolt head faces forward. It's behind the shield (which "pops" out). There are also a couple on the wheel lip.
