I would move the lower shock mount inboard as far as I could without hitting anything. Of course I’m going by the picture, but it looks like someone added a piece of angle and moved the mount outboard by 1.5”.
There is a pad welded to the slapper bars with three pieces of flat bar welded to it with holes in them. I believe they came that way for shock mounts? I have never really worked on one of these cars before this one and I am not a drag racer. So there is a lot of stuff I don't know much about.I would move the lower shock mount inboard as far as I could without hitting anything.

It does sound a lot more solid now. I wish I had the factory back seat, but it is long gone and my dad made that box. Hopefully I can make it look okish. When I started the car the external fuel pump sounded a lot quieter. Even with the black window out.That is plenty enough coverage. I bet the floor sounds like the wooden box in the back seat now.
I follow you. I can see where the Caltracs would be better. They articulate better. Where should the shocks mount? Even though I don't plan to do anything with that part of the car right now I am all ears to suggestions for future upgrades. My main goal right now is to make it streetable and be able to drive 30+ miles.
