I hadn't considered road noise, nor thought of the body flexing enough to crack sheet metal.
I have seen bodies have major wrinkles in the quarter panels and roof C pilar/sail panel caused by flex, but they were unibody (a camero and a roadrunner)
The body mount rubber that was in the car are likely original and they are as hard as metal or at least useless. I will use the upper washer in the floor boards with the rubber grommet to seal water out.
I'm just thinking out loud, and appreciate the comments, you guy's have given me something to consider for sure.
I want it to be a nice solid car, the road noise would be the killer though. I'm building this for enjoyment while cruising around and I've put the HotRod Power Tour on my bucket list. I really don't want to feel every pebble I roll over.
Thanks
