Default 75 body mounts

I am to the point of replacing or repairing the body mounts on my 75. Is it a lot of work to replace the mounts or is it easier to repair them? If it is better to replace them where can I get a good deal on the mounts? I will also be looking for many, many other parts, info, please info I need info. on this subject.
If anybody has anything else they think I might need to know on any part of the restoration don't be afraid to speak up.
Thank you, The Vettecus

Here's my latest. Just set aside a couple days worth of time and lots of patience.

You can buy new mounts at several of the Forum vendors. Zip's, Corvette Central (pretty sure) and Doc Rebuild should have them.

I got all mounts, shims, bolts, #4 mount reinforcements from Volunteer Corvette. I think mine were not near as bad as some on this forum, see my pics. I was able to pick up the body from just before the rear wheels to get all the mounts in.

I have been picking away at my 75. Here is the left rear with the new metal pad.




This is the #3, looks like there is going to be a lot of cutting and welding. Its rotted to hell, I just bought a repair section for it.
