This body mount brace had to be replaced so whatever was left was removed to allow the new body mount to be installed. | 
A few years ago, you couldn't find these body mount braces. Fortunately, they're now readily available for '61-'64 Impalas. |
Once everything was bolted on and checked to make sure that they were where they need to be, everything was welded in place. | 
The welds were ground down and the welded areas were cleaned using a high-power wire wheel. |
Fiberglass was used to fill and smooth the welds. The fiberglass also helps reinforce the sheet metal. | 
The body filler was applied, sanded smooth and shaped to create the flow that we wanted. |
Once all of the body work was done, they sprayed SEM etch primer and sealers to leave the car ready for paint. | 
The restored floorboards were ready to be painted. |
