Started looking at this today. I have done some reading on this and will it require removing the front bumper on a 68? I will be using a 4 post hoist for the job. Anybody want to throw out some suggestions would be appreciated.

I have done it on fully assembled running and driving cars without display assembling anything. Just have to get the bolts loose on all the body to subframe mounts on one side at a time. Use a pry bar to separate the sub frame enough to remove and install the bushing. Same with the rad support.

I knocked it out today. Wasn't too bad. I did take the battery tray out and backed the steering column off the rag joint. Did one side at a time. There was no rust issues, sweet! It was a solid afternoon six pack day! All good and the doors still close.
