#3 Body Mount Body Problem?
So I pulled off the plates covering the #3 body mount today and on my '75 coup. On the drivers side there was a lot of broken fiberglass. After clearing it away it appears the body cracked around the mount area and eventually disintigrated and gave way. I can see the fender section behind the door and a light if I shine it up from below.
How screwed am I? Can this be repaired?
My father-in-law thinks we can 're-glass' it but he hasn't seen it. Is that realistic?
Thoughts?

If you are looking in that inspection hole, you should see solid steel, covered over with a fiberglass shell.
It all can be repaired. If it is just fiberglass damage, its not too bad. If you have rusted out steel, its a bit tougher and much more expensive.
