Rear Leaf Springs

[JMitch19]

Looking the experience of others. My 1968 camaro is the second first gen that I have done leafs on. Both cars that I have worked on I have had to cut holes in the floor to gain access to at least half of the bolts that hold the front spring mount in. It seems that the nuts are just pressed in and not tack welded at all. Which doesn't seem like the best set up to me, but who am I to judge GM's design.

I'll get to the point. Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a secret to getting those three bolts out without having to cut up my floor? I have the drivers side done and I used a hole saw in two spots to gain access. If there is a better way to go about this I would like to know it before I tackle the passenger side. Any help would be great.



Thanks,
