Re: Project Gumby Phase 1

Finished #1-#5 body bolts and bushings, #1 was a booger to get out without cutting the floor too bad because its down in that depression. Went with the LMC rubber kit, because i needed bolts also. When the body comes off later during another phase of the build i'll prob go poly for the mounts at that time
83

Cleaned up and painted the mounts, factory shims while #1 bushings were out
84

85

Mine had 2 factory shims per side in the #1 location
86

Painted the body bushings, seemed to be bare metal to me, trying to prevent future rust
82

Had to weld a large washer onto the #5 body bolts because one side was roached out in the body bolt hole area
79

Did notice that the #4 top body bushing didn't sit down into the hole once tight, almost like the round spacer they provided with the kit to keep all the rubber from compressing too much was too long. Anyone else had this problem?
