    How about Dennis CArpenter in NC?
    Let's see, $90 for the parts needed to bolt your body down right now? Is it worth it?

    dennis carpenters................. looks like a cool site............again, I went through the catalog and didnt see body bushings or maybe too many beers after working on the rod. Maybe I'll just order the catolog and see if I can find it there. Thanks for the info

    i use body mounts for a 42-48 ford you need 2 sets. i have yet found a place that has them. the mercs are different heights and i shave them to the desired height for the correct location. the only ones that you would have to come up with are the 1/4" X 2" ones at the front or you can get a kit for shoebox which are all square and have a bunch leftover for another project

    Hey,

    Do you have a lathe? Get some round stock urethane or rubber and turn you own.

    OK, just for anyone who is looking for body bushings, I found a place called cl***ic mercury www.cl***icmercury.com that had them at $4 a piece for both recesed and with the nob on them. Great price and ships em quick, priority mail. Hope this help someone, I know it saved me about $50.
