Well I'll have pics later tonight I started to rewire the entire engine bay/front end and tucking it all (so ha haters it is getting done).
But my objective now while I wait for my dad to come over and change the rad support with me in a few weeks. So whats my project till then you ask? simple I'm rebuilding the subframe with new bushings, upper control arms and ball joints. I will be ATTEMPTING to install family man's poly front bushings, and poly bushings for the sub frame bushings, and if theres time... solid metal mounts for the engine/tranny I want alot of rigidity in my front end hopefully this will give me it

Wouldnt that be too rigid and cause more stress on the motor?

it will certainly cause stress on the chassis, I don't think it is a good idea, but its your car man

what are you guys saying will cause stress on the chassis? the solid engine mounts? I can assure you someone else whose active on these boards has those installed and doesn't complain.
Many other cars use solid engine mounts and it just makes more vibration. uploading pics and 2 videos for ya'll to get a laugh

Willie one issue with ur comment, his is fake, mines real. His is paint on carbon fiber look, mines real carbon fiber lol. There's a reason its smoothed, cause it would trap air bubbles in the grooves, but I like the smoothness
