The two rearmost body bolts are spinning! Is the only way to get them out is to cut in somewhere? If so, has anybody cut on the trunk side? I need to replace trunk floors anyway....

I had the same problem. I used a sawzall to cut the bolts off to get the body off. Then I cut a flap right above the nuts on the panel the bumper covers peeled it back put in new cage nuts folded the flaps back up and welded. Looks fine.

If you are going to do full trunk pans, than I believe the cage nuts will be accessible. Mine are on a 66

What year? Please describe the location better. If these are the ones by the inner rear of the rear wheel I have pics. I cut the trunk floor, had to change anyway, then used wd and vice grips
