I use the abrasive point to start the pilot hole for drilling, when necessary. |

Drill progressively ledger I guess until it frees up then need to get what's left of the bolts out. Want to try and save the mount from too much damage if possible. |

New Stuff
Picked up new front subframe for the current project. This one came off a 72 Z-28 and is in much better condition than what came off the 71. Also has new ball joints, bushings, bearings, brake pads, etc... someone did a good amount of work on it which should save me some time and money. $200 well spent.

Embarrased to say it but I've honestly never been there. I've lived here since 94 and I hear the cars every weekend from my yard but never went  |

Think I'm developing "the eye" I walked into cluttered garage and spotted that bellhousing from across the room under a pile and went right for the casting number saw the 621 at the end and pulled it. Think that was the first thing I spotted haha.
