And taking a picture of it no less. Very brave.Set a new land speed recordView attachment 1991891
I have been using a DeWalt impact and it has greatly reduced the number of rusted bolts breaking. It is also useful in getting them out after breaking. I use a drill, then punch a Philips impact screwbit into the hole and out they come.Today's battle of the broken bolts ended in a 4-5 loss.
When I removed the hard top on my '75 I had a ton of frozen bolts. I ended up with a total of 8 snapped heads between the hard top sides and the tub. I've been applying PB Blaster and Kroil before trying to extract. I successfully removed 4 bolts, but I snapped 4 drill bits and one screw extractor in the process. I learned to really hate snapping a bit inside the drilled out bolt.
Today I was defeated, but I will become a rusted bolt removal Master ... Eventually.
I will definitely pick up an impact driver and give the impact driver bit a shot. I was seriously contemplating the value of my time earlier today. I previously bought a Textron impact driver, but I have not found success with it yet.I have been using a DeWalt impact and it has greatly reduced the number of rusted bolts breaking.

Hope you are less frustrated than I was figuring how to get the f'ers out
Not a record... FYI, at 80 mph they get a little light... by 93 (85+ rubber overdrive) it’s not as bad... although that’s when I shut it down and decided I didn’t need to know how much faster a SWB 40 could go. It was still accelerating like a bat out of hell. I also decided keeping with the flow of traffic is highly over rated.Set a new land speed recordView attachment 1991891
I like that seatTest fit the rear bench to make sure the brackets line up. Also tying them into the frame for car seat safety.

How do you want to ty it into the frame?
Tying it into the frame might cause issues with frame flexing.Not there yet. More of a thought then a reality right now. Another guy brought up a good point about the sheet metal ripping through if the crash was bad enough. Might just weld some stock metal along the whole rear under the bed.
