Default 1959 galaxie body mounts & air intake panels

Happy Holidays
At this time working on replacing original body mounts . According to the ford manual the rubber style bushings must be tighten every 9000 miles. So are there urethane bushings available in the market place.
Next
The air intake-panels behind the grill on my galaxie were cobbled not original . Purchased body manual turned out no show for front panels. Could some one send pictures or panel layouts. Or give me a heads up.

Happy Holiday Rick
Appreciate the feedback a most helpful attachment. So there are housing the tubs attach to. But how do the housing attach to the front end is there a panel missing. Or do the housing attach directly to the radiator support.
Are there replacements housing available. My Galaxie has cut up bad tubes that were supported by furnace duct works. Bad setup.

Have a wonderful holiday

That's about it. And if you take out ALL of the bolts around the intake opening.. the entire tube will drop onto the floor. So prop it up or always have one bolt through everything.

Someone on eBay sells the body bushings, Vintage Ford Parts I believe.
