it depends on what you want to do to reinforce it, you can basically weld peices of steel from one side to the other to strengthen it, or if you want im sure you can drill a small hole and put a bolt through it.

Are your reinforcing to add strength or because of rust ?

Heres a link to a sticky that has a ton of information on extra braces and reinforcing the frame on a G Body;

If the body bushings are the originals then I would suggest you need to remove the body to change the bushings and then it'll be much easier for you to do any upgrade you want on the fame

What is your purpose for reinforcing?

I'm just reinforcing for strength. Because I'm currently building a engine and I'm shooting for 600rwhp but the car will be 90% street

with that power I would want to take the body off the frame, box it, upgrade the factory welds and reinforce the suspension brackets and then upgrade the body bushings

about how much does it cost to have a car removed from the frame and rust repaired?

I have no idea, I would contact a local restorer and get a quote from them. But is is hard to know what you're into before you take the body off
