I spent half the day yesterday drilling out broken bolts on the door hinges. I was able to retap 3 of them on the top driver side. Question is how can i gain access to the backing plate to get a new one burned and tapped?

Sorry, but you can't. The 'A' pillar that they are in is inaccessible. You might be able to touch it by reaching in through the dash.

I tried going through the dash, well then looks like i might have to cut out the bottom left hand kick panel and gain access through there. I can always weld it back in or fab up some tabs for some nut serts. Thanks for the info i kind of thought so but i thought i would give it a shot and ask. BTW i did find vin on the frame and on the motor but i lost so much time yesterday on the door hinges. I will get you those pics this week. I did make it to the mud yesterday though

Cool!
