With the body off, just when you thought you had it all under control, more cancer is discovered. Rear body mounts non-existent, front trunk mounts, resemble the Grand Canyon. Tomorrow, I will build a new rear body mount from scratch...18Ga and a metal stretcher will do the trick with a 1" I.D. x 2" steel pipe for a spacer. Scraped the frame with a putty knife but the soda blaster would not touch the remainder, going to have to go to hard core sand blast. when I get the body finished and get to the frame full time, I have designed a body off Torsion Bar winder that looks like it will work well for taking the tension off when I replace all the rotted bushings in the torsion arms.
