Started to try and make some new body mounts.
The old mounts were 18 gauge steel. Luckily I still have some 18ga lying around so I started with a flat piece, then put a 90 degree brake in it with my homemade sheet metal brake.
On to the sheet metal stretcher that I picked up on sale at HF last winter. I just took my time and tried to match up the bend with the original piece.
It doesn't have to be exact. It's just a body mount that I'll never look at again. As long as it fits the trunk floor I'm happy.
Next I'll try and cap it off and weld it back under the car.
