Mounts on the driver side mounts are pretty much done, now onto the passenger side. I'm cleaning up the mounts, which are pretty clean from being sealed by the rubber, and painting them with Por 15. Ask me in 50 years how well it works! LOL
PRO TIP-Another Packard enthusiast told me about this. When shaping/drilling rubber mounts freeze them first. Works great!!!
I'm thinking that replacing all my mounts is probably going to change my door/body alignment as some were smashed flat, some were missing and some were hard as rock. Once I'm all done I'll see how things look and if need I'll use the procedure in the service manual for adjusting the body........another adventure!
Does replacing the body mounts make this a frame-off restoration?
