I'm in the process of removing my frame.I got all my bolts out except the two behind the rear wheels,they just turn. I tried soaking them with blaster over night and still won't come out! Need your help!

I had the same problem with my 71. Once they break loose and start to spin the only thing you can do is to get a wrench on the nut which is spinning around in the cage that holds it. I drilled a 2in hole in the trunk floor (above the body mount) with a hole saw, but a wrench on it and it came right out. Then weld the circle back and grind it after the new body mount is installed...Bill
