The extra body mounts were cushions only and they went adjacent to the front corner mounts under the firewall. Convertible and big block cars got them. All frames are already prepared to have them there so you can put them on should you decide to pull the body off the frame. Tom

I was told I could put a BB in my 69 with the addition of some braces (I think they were bolt on) and beefier suspension. JB From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of RJ Winkler Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 7:42 PM To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net
