Default FUBAR right now

Trying to do some suspension work to the front of the car and snapped 2 bolts and a stud on the front strut mounts. I also have some heavily rusted nuts and stud on my shocks. I used an impact on it and that didn't work. I am thinking of cutting the nut in 1/2 and pulling it out.

Does anyone know of the part number for the strut mounts for our f-bodies?

Auto Zone, Napa, Pep Boys. I would like to get the car put back together soon and want to make sure that I get the right part.

That is why I bought a grease gun, tube of grease, and antiseize.

Called up a speed shop to see about getting 2 new Bilstein shocks that I have on the car right now, well they are on indefinate backorder. Looks like I need to buy a different front set of shocks now. Ahhhhh.
