    Can someone post or send me pictures of the the body mounts under the door area. The car was not bolted to the frame when I bought it. And they don't seem to line up. The rockers have had some rust repair done. So it might be that.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks

    Being a rag top, i'm sure they used shims and those little square rubber blocks that look like a piece of tire like everyone else did. Tricky ***embly because shiming will affect the front end sheetmetal as well. Lots of patients and trail and error is what i'm thinking.
    Is there any adjustments on the hinges or are the a direct bolt on. Hinge pins tight?

    There are some pictures buried in my build link. By the front of the door there is one on the inner frame through the toebard and one outside the frame. The p-15-24 side has a dimensional PDF of the frame and all mounts. I will look for a copy tonight.

    Here is a pdf of the frame and all mounting locations and a photo of the body mounts. Took me three tries to figure it out with new site.
    Note that under the seat area there are two mountings locations on both sides of the front two cross members. I ordered and used the "Steele-Rubber" original style body mounts. They are different thickness based on location. Do not cut up old car tires, that is what I pulled off it when I got the car. Body now sits properly on the frame.& doors open and close well. It still takes a long time to shim and mount the front clip

    Is that the one I saw advertised with Hemi & 700R. If so the wheel arch opening on the rear fenders didn't match, one was flat across the top (Similar to front fender opening) and the other had a curved radius (As depictre on this car?
