Jim,

This car was built by ERA as a turn key minus with the engine and side pipes installed.

I have considered raising the hole and doing a touch up.

I have similar concerns with solid mounts. Polyurethane would likely dampen the movement enough to stop contact without the solid pitfalls.

I will stew on this one a bit longer before I decide.

It requires a full throttle launch to cause interference. It went all summer without contact and then I went on a December 1 cruise. Some guy looked like we was going to hit me from behind at a stop light and I did a full throttle launch to avoid the crash. Crash was avoided, but the header did touch the body - slightly.

John
