Didn't do anything today except order some chassis paint and body mount bushings. I'm going to try the summit racing chassis epoxy paint on the frame and see how that works out. It was only $55 for the kit. The body bushings were also through summit. They had the poly kit for $95. I had briefly considered using hockey pucks, seriously. But the thickness is not the same for all the mounts ( I guess the level differences could be made up by washers) and it would be hard to use them on the lower portion. You just can't find a good cheap alternative for those.
