Actually, the fenders are separate, with a filler
panel spanning the front of the car. The seams are
leaded-in and smoothed to make the front sheetmetal
appear to be a solid piece.
You can carefully attempt to remove the entire front
sheetmetal (If so, I would leave the radiator support
and fender liners attached to avoid stress on the
seams.)
If a fender needs replacement, you might as well sever
the lead seam and unbolt the fender from the filler
panel. You'll have to refinish that area anyway.
Good luck,
