Just let me know if you could cut me a pair.
Thanks.

I can do this easily, as I will be cutting the entire car apart to haul to the scrapyard anyway.
However, I have a lot to do at work, traveling a lot, etc. so please don't expect me to get to this for a couple months. I wish that I got this car cut up sooner, but it seems to always be the lowest priority project.
Maybe on Friday I can get down to the garage and take the front crossmember off to assess the condition of the bolts. This assumes that you want the part of the box-frame which they thread into, or do you want part of the crossmember and part of the frame with the bolts still in it?
I will probably use a torch or sawzall on this part of the car, so either way is fine.
I will get pictures and get back with you, the underbody is not in very good shape on this car.
