I am ready to lift the body off the frame of my '78, until I reached the last body mount bolt. Everything has gone very smooth until now, that in itself should have concerned me, now it is situation normal. The problem I am having is the # 4 body mount on the passenger side. I soaked the bolts with liquid wrench several days before trying loosing them. I have pulled the wrench so hard that the bolt is now bent. I then cut the rubber bushings away so I could get to the shaft of the bolt to cut it. I now have about 1/2 in of the shaft exposed, but I am not sure how to cut it. The area is too tight for a hacksaw, too much fiberglass next to it for a cutting torch. I even tried a cold chisel, all that accomplished is knocking alot of dirt from under the car. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks!

re:

would a dremel fit in there?

had the same problem with my 75, used a very short blade on a sawsall. When that didnt do it I used a very long blade but only the end. I went through 2 or three blades, but did no damage and cut bolt pretty quickly.
