Help People:
I desperately need an answer for this one to finish my car a 1965 Malibu 2 dr HDTP. I had to have the trunk floor and rear body mounts replaced due to corresion that the previous owner either missed of ignored. Since I purchased an entire set of bushings I decided to replace the remainder while I had all running gear out of the car and had completely stipped the frame where accessible and the under side of the body to bare metal looking for anymore hidden surprises.
The two bolts behind the front wheels are rung off so they have to come out and therefore I need someone to tell me how to do this as I have not been able to jack the body off the frame far enough to get to the portion of the bolts that are left not high enough to get the old bushing and metal sleves out.
I have disconnected the steering coupling front brake line and battery ground all running gear is out except new 12 bolt that I just put back in this week. The under side of the car is spotless as it has been stripped and painted so now is the time to do this.
Whet else do I need to take off the car to be able to jack the body up off the frame and how do you get to the two nuts in the rear that turn with the bolts as these two are new and were put in with my new trunk floor and rear body mounts by a body shop.
Help someone please I have 15,000 dollars worth of new parts waiting to go back on or in this car including a stroked roller engine and level III 700R4 trans.
Its blowing my mind that something as simple as rubber bushings and sleeves have me stumped. Yes the gas tank is out but the bumpers are still on the car can that be the culprit.
