I call it a rear body mount but I can't find anything on it in the classifieds. Is there another name I could search for? My car is missing both sides. Any help is greatly appreciated.

| That is what it is. Normally you buy the whole panel though. |

| This is one of those things you can get easily from someone parting out a car. Search "parting" on here or Craigslist. OG ones are best, I paid like $40 for a pair a few years ago. |

| I have the same problem, the previous owner of my 1965 vert hacked up the rear shock tower mount. I only found it sold on the whole panel which is called the "rear wheelhouse" so I waited for a sale to grab them. I will find somewhere else to use all the extra sheet metal when I cut out the mounts |

Yeah, that's in fairly good shape! I would just fix it and use the body mount part from a new panel. You could probably just make a new mount.

| Try Virtanen Restoration Panels. Mika makes the '52 to '57 version of this body mount bracket. Beautifully made and totally robust. |
