They aren't that bad to get them off, at the back on the cross member they will be tacked, those are hard to grind off and at the front they are bolted to the rocker boxes but chances are all that metal is gone.

blazer
man I thought the one I brought home the other day was bad, but now I am thinking it will be a walk in the park compared to what you are up against. Good luck with yours and thanks for the motivation!
