New to this and need a little help.
Anyone have an idea on the correct size body mount for a '65 Bonneville? Ames shows about six styles with different hole diameters and either a 2" or 3" bolt to secure. They recommend taking the old ones out to measure which in theory is completely logical but reality and time state otherwise. They are completely mashed and frozen. I know I need fourteen of them. Any previous ideas or experience with this kind of project is greatly appreciated-Thanks

Bought a 1965 Bonneville convertible about 3 years ago that we have been chipping away at making it better and better. It was a running vehicle with no brakes bought at auction completely intact but in need of work. Converted the front drums to disc, rebuilt original Carter carb, new radiator, water pump, shocks, coils, truck pan, e-brake and horns (for a sticker), fuel sending unit and regulator.
Original 389 under the hood, appears to have original rear leather seat but front had been done over with some bad vinyl (ouch in the heat!). I have both original fender skirts but think it looks better with them off. Aqua in color with a white top. Next project is to replace the body mounts which I'm hoping will stem the leak I get over the drivers A pillar when it rains. Already tried a quick fix wth new gaskets which helped some but not enough.
My 6 year old daughter named it Big Evil when leaning against the rear quarter, BONN was obscured leaving only EVILLE to be seen. She said it was an evil big car! hope to get some positive feedback from this site.
Thanks for your time
