I have a '68 deluxe coupe. I am looking for info on how to go about replacing ALL of the body mounts. The frame is solid and all of the hardware should be ok. The rubber biscuits are ALL that is shot. I would appreciate any info on this subject. Thanks!

Put some penetrant on it now. Then put some more on, then put some more on. Then do a search. This subject has been addressed in detail
Then put some more penetrant on.

Don't forget to put some penetrant on it. http://www.camaros.net/forum/biggrin.gif

what are they trying to say?.... oh well, don't forget to put some penetrant on it!!

I take it you all have never changed these mounts? My hardware will come apart OK. I am looking for suggestions on how and where to support the car etc.,etc. Thanks!

Strausbo,
Do a search in this forum.....then put some penetrant on it! http://www.camaros.net/forum/biggrin.gif

In all seriousness, check the suspension and brakes archives as well. They suggest doing one bushing/mount at a time so that you don't throw off the positioning of the subframe.

Unless you know for sure your hardware and frame mounts are ok, you should be prepared for a surprise. It is all to common on first gens to discover on an otherwise sloid car that the bolts and frame mount body brakets are rusty.

I've seen it far too often. Do a search on the subject, you should find much on it.

Do one side at a time. The caged nuts may tear loose but the cages will come off fairly easily with a pry bar. Replace with regular washers, etc if this happens. If you find rotted frame mount holes, you can buy 1/4" plate cheap and make patches. I spent about $5 for enough to do several cars. I had a friend weld them in - not hard but I don't have the equipment or experience yet. A search will tell you more than you ever thought possible.
