Good suggestions guys. I'm going to check the seating of the mounts tomorrow. I'm hoping it's not the frame.

So for those helping with suggestions and interested in progress, I found out that the frame was bent. The driver side front was pushed in which moved the motor mount in and up about 1 1/2 inches off.
To get the frame straightened I had to pull the engine.

Sorry you had to go through all that. I was really hopping it would be something easy. Nice looking car.
