Did you get the ones at the front of the cowl? The bolt heads are sort of hidden inside the cowl structure.

Also, don't forget that the front of the rear fender is attached to the back of the running board, and those bolts need to be loosened in order for the body to lift independent of the frame.

You probably already disconnected the steering column clamp and removed the choke rod but if you didn't you should do that too.
