Does anyone repro front and rear body mounts that would be suitable for a 1957 oval?
I can't seem to find anything from the usual parts suppliers?

|
|
| Running out of time in the Midwest for the bodywork on my 56 Oval. I have to work on it and store it in my attached unheated garage. I've seen what that environment can do to exposed metal after the horrible winter we had last year in the Midwest. My welding, grinding is done. I'm racing to get it sealed with some good high build 2K urethane primer before the cold hits. Does anybody have experience with a car cover in this environment? Will it help? Any recommendations? Thanks as always on any advice.... Jeff |

As long as you are not leaving it outside in bare steel you wont have much of an issue at all with rusting..
