My son is home for the weekend again, so we got started tonight.  He replaced his fuel filler hoses and the seal, and then he replaced his broken transmission mount with a new Energy Suspension polyurethane  mount.  Here's a photo of the broken mount:

Weekend progress:

We replaced the body bushings.  It wasn't as hard as we expected.  All the holes lined up, so it was a simple matter to replace them.  They clearly needed replacing:

We also removed the stock rear suspension bushings and replaced them with Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings.  Thank God for our 12 ton hydraulic press:
