thank you for all the leads and involvement offers regarding helping my dad with his car search, we appreciated it.
Denny (hemidenny) sent me some newly designed coilover shock tower supports, and here is my official report: They bolted right in and self align at the bottom for the frame holes, which you will need to drill 1/2" hole on the outside frame rail and a 5/16" hole on the inside (engine compartment side)thats about it. I had both installed in about 30 minutes. These are 2 piece supports that bolt together with 3/8" bolts. Denny also supplies frame crush sleeves (thats why you need to drill only 1 side at 1/2") to slide the sleeve into the frame and capture it between the hoop and bolt head on the inside. :thumbrig::thumbrig:
