Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Definitely a great day for you and Mia.
She makes the car, and we'll have to get a pic of her in the driver's seat after it's that far along. |

Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
I love the way you guys make the repairs:-)
If you have any snapped off body mount bolts I would love to know how to fix this issue...... Ryan

Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
Yes, had a couple body mount bolts snap, or have to be cut off.
If you look closely in the last picture above, you'll see a small square metal tab sticking up on the raised area. We had to cut that on 3 sides to get at the caged nut, then cut the cage, remove the nut with busted bolt, heat the nut cherry-hot, then removed the broken bolt. Put the nut back in the cage after cleaning the threads, and weld the cage shut again. Other methods may work depending on if the nut spins in the cage or not. |

There is no other option [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img] Dan </div></div> Dan Your absolutely right that's why my black 69 is not finished yet I'm not putting anything else on it. Just picked up the last piece like a week ago. The front bumper filler/valance! My wife was actually pissed because she wants it done so I can move on to my other 69 but I told no Jap metal.

I am nervous to cut into my nice floor to do this so I want to make sure I am heading down the right road:-) I have 2 or three at the back especially:-( I guess I cut into the trunk to fix them:-( I have one where the area is rusty so I am able to fix it from the bottom...... (About a 3 inch rusty area around one mount so I need to fix it. Sorry to reply all about me on your thread, but I see this stuff and absolutely have to know for myself:-) Ryan

Re: Silver 69 Chevelle SS396 Post Sedan L78
You might try drilling a small hole in the floor above the rusted nuts, and squirting some PB Blaster in a few days before you try loosening. If there is enough bolt left, weld a nut onto it instead of using vise grips.

That sounds like a great first step!!! Ryan
