Default #3 body mount

I was checking my body mounts and found #3 driver side mount in rusted
away not on the frame but the body insert and the rocker channel in that
area are gone from rust.I know the parts are avialable,how big a job is
this going to be.Should I try this or let the pro's handle this job? 1RED1

I have a corvette-fever article at home describing the entire process. Doesn't looking hard at all (especially if all you have to do is 1). The general procedure they used (there is more than one way), was to use a tranmission jack to ever so gently raise the body of the car and then remove & replace the body mount. I'll send you that article when I get a chance to scan it.

Mike.
