[Chevelle-list] Missing body mounts

[Thomas Ringlein]

Not that I have a question, just a holy s$#t comment.
Just thought I would let you all know what I discovered in the garage last
night.

I finally got the Chevelle up in the air yesterday to WD-40 down the body
mounts in preparation for the disassembly late December - and discovered
that half the body mounts are not there.  Nope - no typo - I am missing two
body mounts on the passenger side, and two on the drivers side.  I look up
in the frame where the bolt should be, and I am looking straight into an
open hole in the body.  How uncommon is this?  The car was a daily driver
when I parked it in 1997, and has been a project since I resurrected it
about 4 months ago.  Body mounts were not something I was ever concerned
about - and I have NEVER checked them in the past 25 years.
At least that is lessening the possibility that the body mounts are rusted
solid - if they are falling out on the road.  It is a lifetime California
car, so who knows?  Might be an easier disassembly then I thought.. (that is
my glass half-full approach to this.)
