Replaced body bushings today. It went...ok. The firewall bushings fought me a bit...I also think I was short a couple bolts and washers...not super happy about that. Also, drivers side under door...the old bolt broke flush with the cage nut...didn't have anything long enough to drill and extract so its just sitting in there, held in by the other bushings.

Looking great!
One comment you probably already know, but others may not, the inside of the taillights need a coat of white paint for better reflectivity of the bulbs.
I remember NOT doing mine and wow were they dim / dark.

Thanks! I brought this up with my grandpa (shop supervisor). I'll be putting white in later.

Hello again! Just looking for recommendations on the best procedures for replacing pins,bushings, detent rollers on the door hinges. I bought the kit from inline tube that should be good for all 4 hinges. Mine aren't the worst, but if I'm replacing one pin or bushing, might as well do them all!
I know realigning doors can be a nightmare...I'd like to leave as many bolts in place as possible so it's less of an issue.

More fender work. Got both of them stripped. Did a bit of hammer and dolly work, and did my best to recreate the missing mounts for fender extension. I think I did...ok...lol. I'm waiting to drill the holes.
Also got the lil fender to rad support rods cleaned up, as well as the filler pieces for fender,inner fender, core support. Now everything is ospho treated.

That’s just a clip that takes a #8 screw, so all you need is a hole, I’ll send you a picture of the clip when I get to the shop
For fender extension correct?

Those are the brackets. But they are still missing that hole. I'm not at my computer, but when I am I'll edit some pics to show.

Ok, after playing around with the fenders, and rad support, and studying your pictures...I think what I'm missing might actually be for fender/headlight extension.

Well thankfully I do have that piece, but I'm not sure about hood latch...time to start digging!

Thank you! Hopefully I can fabricate it. Not sure if I have that valance...
Is it this?

There is one small hole that is rotted off on my passenger side, but in tact on my drivers. I'm not sure what it's for. I think I can fabricate it easily.

Neither, its vertical, on the front of the inside of the fender.
What did you do to your Monte Carlo today?

Got doors pretty much stripped, just need another once over. Removed weather stripping surround, quarter glass on both sides. Also removed drip rail molding, used wood block method with great success. Started stripping jambs.
Took the 4l60e off the LT1, swapped in th350 to avoid crossmember and drive shaft issues. Engine is sitting in the car, hoping to get new mounts tomorrow and get it secured.
