Hello all. I am trying to replace a broken front suspension on the Black 57 Belair convertible. I have taken out the 4 screws for the chassis as their are 2 screws from the top of the chassis that hold the lower suspension on. I cannot figure out how to get to these screws.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi John. Have you removed the chassis from the body? Once you do that, the screws are easily to get to and the entire front suspension can be removed.

Hello Pete: Thank you, I figured if anyone would reply it would be you based on all the re-fits you post. I did finally figure it out. I was stumped because when I removed the 4 screws on the bottom the chassis would not dislodge from the body. Finally got it loose and yes I found the screws. Waiting on a cheap 57 I found to arrive that I can swap it out.
