Not sure what you mean?
Cutting a hole to get to the control arm greese zerts. That is an extreamly nasty hole.
Precisely. The torched hole for greasing the upper control arm. What a hack job! Funny thin g is they only did the rear and didn’t cut the fronts. Completely illogical
Does seem a bit extreme but that squeak can drive a guy to madness.

2 of my '67’s have the same disease.
These are a whole lot easier than cutting holes, but they weren’t available back in the day:
I’ll be using aftermarket tubular that have no need for grease zerks…but yes I’ve installed several sets of these, my first set in the 80’s
Doh - wish I had known they existed in the 80’s! I was a hole driller too back in those days.
Better to be a hole driller than wielding a torch
Well this is quite the process….wire wheeling because I don’t want sand blasting mess and can’t because it’s cold outside

Wow. I can’t even imagine trying to put that all back together.
I hope to have it on wheels by May!

By May? On May 15th my 1970 XR-7 will have been in the shop strictly for mechanical repairs for four years. 
That’s ridiculous…nothing on our cars is that complicated
My 67 has been in body shop hell, for over three years now- The original estimate was 6 months, and 6 thousand dollars. It’s been a lot more work, but a lot, lot longer to get done. And when I do get it back, it will still need a full resto, as it is only going to be in that black protective coating, not paint or primer. And every piece that came off, will now really, rally show its age!
