two bolts left and the body is coming off all came out without alot of
trouble just some wd40 and some hard wrenchin' till' #4 body mounts the
caps for the nut were rusted off. so it leaves to guess where to go
from here. try to cut them out with a sawzall or torch em' i was
thinking about putting a vise grip on the nut inside the body and try
wrenching on it again?!!. any help and/or experience in this problem
would be appreciated.

I don't think the vise grip trick will work. Several of us on here have had the same issue and the consensus is to simply cut them from the bottom. I don't think I'd use a torch though. It's an awfully tight space and too close to the glass for that kind of heat. I cut mine with a die grinder. Just cut the nut off the bottom and you're there!

I used a recip saw and cut right through the bolt.. had to go through the metal spacers.. no problems though
i had to use a dremel on the drivers #2 mount bolt.. and it went well also..
