Progress
 
Ok, some progress made tonite.

I have successfully removed 3 of the 4. The 4th will hopefully fall tomorrow.

I went back to the screw extractors and drilled out the bolt head. Once I got to the bolt shaft, the bolt head just fell off.

The forth bolt is the one closest to the firewall. I secured a 90 degree drill that will barely reach the bolt but it will be from an angle. I should be able to drill out part of the head and possibly chisel out the remainder.

Thank You everyone for taking the time to comment... IF nothing else, the moral support kept me at task!
