Welcome from NY.
Jack it up.
Take off the front wheels.
Look at the new ones they have studs with 11/32" nuts.
1/4" nutdriver or ratchet with a variety of extensions. Just a little patience.

Welcome to FBBO
I'd highly suggest buying a Year, Brand & even model-specific
Factory Service Manual, worth it's weight in gold
or download the many available online, most free
like from www.MyMoPar.com in the reference & tools section

If it's like a Coronet, and I bet it is...
It's PITA.
You have to get something long enough to get over the bottom of the inside fender cubby but small enough to clear the space between that on the bottom and the top of the fender on the top.
Thin wall 3/8 socket with extensions or 1/4 drive, but then it's difficult to get enough torque.
Also the factory clip will want to "spring back" after you turn it counterclockwise, making it take a LOT longer to come off.

Welcome from Washington State.
Welcome! The only thing not mentioned is you have dig out the splash shield first. Scrape and find the bolts.
