Well I put my car back on the rack today to have a look around and this is what I saw ..... the mount where the upper control arm mounts to the upper chassis seems to have a brace on the outside that is rusted/ripped in half. I dont know if its a brace or not but where could I find replacements???? Thanks in advance for any replies.

you've found the fb's major weakpoint. They all rust there. you'll have to get creative to fix it. I ended up cutting out almost the whole wheel well on my project car and bracing things left and right. that bracket you mention is junk, remove it, and get rid of that outer layer of sheet metal just above it. Those are the reason they rust. remove them and go from there, you might get lucky and just be able to grind off surface rust and seal it up. good luck, if you need more help ask.
