Go to my thread I'm going that right now. You can see where the front bolts are. There is one on top of the firewall. One on the front next to the hinge. Insid the top of the door jamb. Two on the bottom. Like 6 going to the front rad sopport. two on the top of the rad support. Plus all the ones holdint the wheel well in. which has to be done first. Drverside bat tray needs to come out and the canister on the pass side.

And don't tighten any of them until you have every bolt loosely installed! Once you've got them all installed then start running them down until you can check door to fender gap, hood gap, aligment with frontend parts, etc. Then you'll need to buy shims in various thicknesses to set the fender when the bolts are tightened.
It takes some time to adjust each to the proper fit, but it can be done with some trial and swapping shims until it's all correct.
