Is he planning to replace the fulcrum pin bushings? Nearly always required
when rebuilding a front end. If so, is he going to silver solder them
himself? That is an "iffy" job that requires a lot of alignment, soooo,
since it would probably be best to go with rebuilt lower A-arms this would be
taken care of. Or are you talking about the holes in the body shell itself?
