Today I began the process of replacing the right rear suspension ear. I purchased my pieces from Restoration-Design. The pieces included the right engine shelf, suspension ear, battery tray and battery support.
I began by removing the center section of the engine tray. This shows the spot-welds drilled out. I used a 1/4" drill bit. Any spotw-welds that weren't completely drilled out I used a air hammer to complete the separation. 1 of 6 Attached image(s)
