Greetings Friends:

This restoration and V8 conversion is getting interesting every day now that
I have actually started to WORK on the Teener. Cleaned out the Engine bay
and removed the rear control arms in preparation for pending V8 conversion
and working on a 31 year old car thing "Snap" Break or remain seezed. With
a torch nearby and some serious power tools (breaker arm and pipe !) I have
been able to remove most stubborn bolts, fateners, etc.

However today I snapped off and control arm/shim plate bolt "up inside" the
most forward position on the drivers side. This was even after some penatrating
fluid and then a touch to heat everything up only to have it BREAK.
Any thought on removing this one, ie. drill it, easy-out, heat again, etc. etc. I do
have limited access since the fender is there and in great shape. Appreciate
any help again.

Allan
