How too drop my frame?

[noneed4nos]

I want to drop my frame, but I dont know where the body mounts are, does anyone have a diagram of where they are located? Thanks

 

[bosted86]

go into the tech section of gnttype.org. its in there.

 

[just plain john]

Look for the rubber things between the body and frame, with the bolts through them. You'll probably need new ones.

 

[noneed4nos]

Yea im going to replace all the bushings and bolts as well. THanks

Remove the bumpers first or you will destroy your fillers.

your frame is probably rotted around where the bushings go. usually about 4 of them are. ask me how i know?????

 

[just plain john]

At least it's easy to fix them when the frame is bare. What's up with the motors in the back?

i was just preparing him for the surprise i usually find when i part these cars out. 1 is a na 109 the other is a 109 but had 85 ha parts on it so i think it was put in under warranty back in the day and they just plugged the return hole.if you need engine parts or anything else pm me.

sorry for jacking your thread. if you have any questions about dropping your frame give me a call i have had MANY MANY MANY !!!! cars off their frames

yea lucky me I have no fillers now, so no bumber issue haha and if their is rust around the bushing holes I assume when I send it out to get blasted and painted they will fix that, well at least I hope haha And any advice on dropping it with jack stands? I am dreading doing it but I really want to get started on this project but on the other hand my lift will be finished soon so I dont know

 

[ttaowner]

What are you doing?full restoration? Just replacing bushings? Is the nose off the car?

 

[noneed4nos]

no the nose is still their incuding motor and everything, and yes full restoration. sending the frame out to get blasted and powdercoated.

Don't just expect them to repair the holes. If you want it done, make sure to tell them. If not, you may be having the patches welded onto a freshly painted frame, and will have to have it touched up after.

they hook into the holes in the bumper support and there are notches on the ends of the grille

Alright so there are notches on the plastic of the lower grille got that... then they pull forward (toward the bumper) onto the front support.
