[/URL][/IMG] I've been busy and have lots of things to fix! Broken body bolts and even some rot on the body where the bushings sit 🙁

Pics are not posting for some reason.... 🙁
 
ughh ! You are doing what I equally look forward to and dread ! Which ones broke on you ? I got 1 of the 4 in the trunk out intact. Still need to do the balance under the body
 
I've been dreading this job for a few years now. I started hearing clunking over bumps and could feel the body hitting the frame. I knew it was becoming unsafe so it was now or never. Found a frame kinda close, cleaned it all up notched it, new stainless lines poly body mounts, rear control arm braces welded in, and a full Ridetech front suspension with coilovers.
 
I had 7 break on me! Easier to tell you that Ines that didn't LOL two core support, three left side between the tires, and the right side in front of the rear tire. Rest broke 🙁

Man i honestly feel your pain! I had all 4 trunk area body bolts break while doing my cutlass..had to cut holes in the trunk to get them out. The rest came out ok. Here is one that i took a pic of lol! Replaced mine with all new poly bushings like yourself and metric class 10.9 flange bolts. Amazing how bad they corrode over the decades!
