The pictures don't do the color justice. Last week we hauled the chassis up to the body shop:

The mounts lined up great with the exception of the 2 at the back of the car which were close. Those areas were completely replaced. Mike was able to massage these for a good fit. Pictured below are the next set of mounts in the rear wheel wells. These were harvested from a 55 Cadillac and are great improvement over the originals that were in bad shape (drivers) or mostly gone (passenger).

Before I left the shop we had 22 of the 24 body mounts installed. Mike removed the inside bracing and finished up the last 2 mounts. It really went very smoothly. On December 23rd he sent us these:
