Im not sure exactly how important the #4 is but i would try and fab something in its place. I know some g bodys come from the factory - the #5 body bushings but it doesn't bolt in like #4. Im sure some others with more experience/knowledge will chime in. I imagine you'd have some body roll since nothing will be holding the driver side down between the middle of the door to behind the back tire.

Yes, I am going to fab something in place as the rest of the cross member is in great shape. Got most of the other new mounts in will finish them up tomorrow.

Waiting on all the parts to slowly trickle in ... many delays with Covid.. bare with me guys!!

I am trying to decide to get new inner fenders or not... mine are cracked. Choices... spend the money on new ones or paint up the cracked ones.

Ill let you guys decide!

Guys,

I'm unsure where to find a replacement or something for the mesh ... under the hood that attaches to the left side just above the heater box and window. I have taken the heater box out but my current mesh that goes against the window.. I have no idea what its called or where to find a replacement.

IF that makes any sense... ill try and get a picture tonight!

Very jealous of the muscle bar, I want to get one but don't want to pay that much for it
