I've done it. You just have to make sure that you drill straight through the center. I work with a pilot hole and go progessively up to a size smaller than the bolt hole, then take the remains of the bolt out in shavings, with cutting oil and a tap. If the drill bit goes crooked, though, you are royally screwed, no pun intended.

You must have got the car from somewhere in my part of the country then. How is the frame?

Been a while since I posted an update. The car was media blasted, all rust repaired and the car is painted. Back home from the interior shop. The right side trim is on. The rocker cover panels are in work, being straightened up and polished. Still need to rebuild the spot lights, rechrome a few interior pieces. Then start on the back interior. lay a new wood floor, rechrome the curtain rods, and what ever else needs redoing.

Put a gumball on top. The interior is finished, except hooking up the lap belts. Next on the list is a leaky exh manifold, rear main seal, cracked dip stick tube, and bad engin mounts. DSCN2002.JPG

The M&M has sold. It sold about 4 months ago. Don't remember if I posted or not. The 63 Superior has a fresh motor in it, and will work on the front floors, after Christmas. They have the usual severe rot.
