I have been following this thread since it started. Been driving me crazy. I just have to say it. That is entirely too many screws. I feel better now.

Matrix, I agree that is a lot of screws, so I guess we'll have to look at the finished product, and figure out if it was worth it.

When its all done and painted, I'll put about 20 close up pictures from all different angles, and we'll see what we got.

you been working on that floor pan for 7 months now rub,,, you got that thing done yet? lol

Rob, I've been intending to mention to you that I quit working on my car for two weeks while I replumbed my entire compressor system, all based on that thread you were involved in over on your Chevy site.
I think it'll help solve my water problems but either way, it sure is a much neater setup. All black pipe, with drop-offs, gradual climbs and sudden drops, etc...
Thanks for the tips.

Greg, I hope that works out okay, never know until you try it.

Sandman, it takes a little time to get the pictures, have to stop after you do each thing, get the camera out, keep it in a baggie for dirt, then when I'm done, into the house for another two or three hours resizing pictures and saying something for each one, then put them on a couple forums.

If I figured out how much time to take all the pictures and put them on this web site, I would be close or maybe even done with this car.

But because I'm retired I have the time to do it.

Most of everything I put on is pretty basic, and a whole lot of overkill on a lot of it.

I have to throw out a lot of pictures that aren't clear, try and get lights set up for some of the pictures, it is time consuming.

I enjoy doing it, beats trying to get home from the bar without getting a drunk driving. It keeps me home and keeps me busy. Then I get questions every now and then, emails on respirator protection and different stuff.

Theres a lot of ways to do this bodywork, so they can look at how a guy does it, and find a quicker better way to do it. One thing I have noticed on these forums, is we have quite a few newcomers all the time, and some of them don't understand the basics, thats where I come in, the basic stuff.

I do enjoy the replies and the humor with them, like yours lol, as long as were having fun, thats what life is all about.

By the way, I've always wondered, where do you live.

that rear crossmember nut is attached to a rubber bushing that does not have a metal head to remove with a wrench from below.How does one even attempt to take it out?

[rub]

Corn goat, what your looking at is the cage nut that is inside the support, so when its welded to the floor pan, you won't see that cage nut, its hidden.

Then the rubber body mount goes in between the bottom of the support and the frame, and a bolt goes up through the frame through the rubber body mount and into the cage nut, hope I answered your question okay.

Rob

[corn goat]

I realize i am looking at the cage nut,but the problem is the bushing does not have a hex headed bolt that extends upward from the bottom like the other body mounts .it looks like an elevater bolt{flat washer w/ a threaded portion on one side}w/circular rubber washer w/o a hole molded together.?I am wondering what is the best way to get it out and the n ultimately how do i get it tight?the cage bolts i have encountered have all snapped but the broken bolts have come out easily with the torch and are ready for re use.

Could you take a picture, or find a picture on the internet and copy and paste it on here, I'm not really sure what you have.
