Instead of the ‘new Redneck shock mounts’ I came up with a few weeks back, I picked up a reproduction shock mount cross-member for a ’69-’70. It’s too narrow, so I going to graft-in the shock mount ‘pockets’ only. Here we are with the old stuff cut out.

Here are the new shock mount ‘pockets’ tacked in. Still gotta tweak the original cross member a little for final welding (gonna go in through the access holes with a big hammer and MAKE ’em fit – LOL!).
