Re: Roadkill's 58 Chevy Stepside

Trying to remove the front end group. Got the radiator out, front bumper off, core support bolts out, fender bolts out (bottom ones were a pain).

I tried to remove the hood hinges from the firewall but one seems to be stripped. I removed the insulation from inside the cab behind the hinge bolts and the weld nuts look to be intact. I wonder if someone tightened the bolt until it stripped? Not sure what to do.

Thinking about cutting the bolt flush with weld nut and drilling then using an easy out from the engine bay side. Not a lot of room to get to the bolt head from the engine bay side.

Anybody have this problem?
