Re: Need a copy of body mounts for 47 coupe
The bolts are 5/16 x 24 I might try drilling on the two hardest to reach ones though. Otherwise it’s major surgery. The rest are not so bad.

Re: paint removal
I used this stuff from Hime Depot. I leave it on till paint bubbles or softens, scrape excess off with a plastic scraper, then use a scotch brite pad from supermarket with paint thinner. Works great!...
