Re: New guy - Frame to body Bushing replacement
I have done it on a 68 Camaro which is the same set up as your 70 Nova but I had everything striped off the front including all body panels and engine/trans. The sub frame was sent out for sandblasting and reinforced 2x4's were designed to go in its place so I could move the body around "rickshaw style". Since you are trying to do it without removing everything it will be different than my experience but it should be doable. Keep in mind that you will have to loosen a lot more than just the bushing bolts themselves to gain enough access to remove the old bushings and install the new ones. Support everything properly, take your time and watch what you are doing.
Are the bushings causing any problems? If not I would just wait until I restored the car before changing them. Welcome aboard!
