did the body mounts on the '62. Fronts were rotted away completely...along with the inner rocker, floor, inner kick panel, etc.
Excuse the pictures. Too lazy to swing the DSLR, used the crap cell phone, but whatever.
Old body mounts were completely rotted away. So I did the ol bust out the portapower, jack up the body, cut the old out one, patch the floor, patch the frame where needed (thankfully only one small spot), patch the inner rocker's bracing, patch the inner rocker, then coat it all with chassis black, then stab in and weld in the body mount. then seam seal that pig, then slather THAT in chassis black.
Anyway.
Rot after removing the body mount. Suck.
What was left of the inner rocker after removing the body mount. nice, huh?
Pile of shit from removing said body mount. Fun stuff. Pipe wrench is laying there as I was using it to smack the hell out of the body mount to get the crap out... in hopes of keeping the junk from falling into my eyes while removing the body mount. Didn't work, for what it's worth.
new body mount. all pretty pretty. LMC's.
Anyway. They're all in. Solid. Done & overwith. Thankfully.
torn down. rebuilding the trans due to a leak on the main shaft. Which caused the big puddle under the bike. Also going the way of the dodo eventually will be the solid disc wheel & spoked front in exchange for some actual spoked wheels, more than likely a 21/18 combo. lowering it. swapping out the tins, building a new rear fender, sectioning the front, blah blah blah. the usual...
