I didn't like the first motor mounts so I cut them out and started over.
I cut the mounts out of 1/4" square tubing. Drilled bolt holes and welded it up.
Fabbed up a trans mount too. Now to figure out a drive shaft.

I'm replacing/converting the engine harness from Pontiac to Cadillac. The old wiring is brittle and fragile so it's time to go! Plus converting generator to alternator.

Finished rebuilding the front suspension. Left side upper control arm was loose and both lower ball joint I were shot.
Got a kit from Kanter seems like a good kit for the money. I did notice the tie rod ends were much smaller. Oh well!
