It was a trailer queen for sure.....Top Flight Train Wreck and all! I have gone through the body mounts. They're ok now…everything was properly shimmed and taped as per GM assembly practices ...but honestly, when I began to work on them, I was in full panic mode. Truth: I'm pretty much in the process of rebuilding the entire (Entire!) car. I mentioned to one of the other fellows in a private message that there have been times I wanted to give up, but I'll press forward. It has killer paint, killer no hit body lines and and equally gorgeous chassis. So that's the only bonus for me...L-O-L.
