Need to address small deterioration on this portion that was hidden under re-enforcement steel piece.

Nice work! I know what a job getting those console pieces apart is. I'm in awe that you were able to get those metal reinforcement gussets off so cleanly. They still look useable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Those are some nice pieces you got from Chris.

Appreciate the compliment Brent.
Yeah that was time consuming. Chris certainly came up aces on such a
clean piece. Very well pleased. When the thermometer decides to
pop above freezing I can begin to dismantle the four cylinder mounts and
begin removing the old console once Dave and I get the jig in place and
can connect the “long/kick up” piece.

Looking really good, Dion!
And I demand you not paint over my Sharpie writing. I took a lot of extra time to do that excellent parts identification documentation! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

So just finished up removing 4 cylinder engine mount on the
drivers side. What a true mess this side of longitudinal this is.
Thankfully for Chris’ part of console and the parts from
Restoration Design all can be remedied.
Tiring and tedious job removing mount.
I wasn’t able to save it. I hope to save the right mount
in case someone would need it. It is in far better shape.

Wow... You've made great progress! Did you make any sort of jig to help align things as you put it all back together? There are a couple key measurements and a few posts that cover all that. I assume you're all over that sort of thing...
Keep up the great work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Hey Chris,
I haven’t freed up the existing left console yet.
The car is still with its door braces intact.
Dave has a jig/measurements plan before I tear that apart.
Thanks for the input and push to persevere!

Moved on to Right engine mount. Challenging to
not destroy it upon removal. A cutting torch I reckon would make
quick work of it but I’d prolly set my car on fire!
I’ll post a pic of mount if any one would need of it pm me and I can take a few more pics of it for you.
The top of the mount was tied into engine shelf/long as well as 4 spot welds.
Totally unlike the left. You can see in the pics how the right side was repaired
back in the early nineties when I had a pro shop do the hell hole and reposition
my suspension so the right wheel would not have EXTREME exaggerated camber!
That’s when I learned of the hell hole troubles.
Looks like they did their best at the time. No rust.
But not factory like :-/ So I’ll get to welding up the right side deficiencies hopefully
this weekend.
