Just wanted to let you & everybody else know what I have found so far....
I work at a garage part time and for the first time since I had some free time, I was able to throw her on the lift. I inspected everything. Engine mounts looked good, front tranny mounts looked good......then I came to the rear mount.....
You were correct, she had quite a bit of play in it and the bushing was nearly dry rotted away. So, I guess it is safe to say that I found my problem.
Thanks all for the helpfull info!

Solved!!!
Just wanted to throw in this update for future searchers. It turned out to be my rear tranny mount. Just from looking at it it seemed ok, but upon further inspection I did notice too much play in the bushing. Ordered a new mount from rx7world, by far the cheapest....and installed it. LET me tell you what a WORLD of diff it made!!! I feel like I am driving a brand new car and ALL of the vibration is gone now.
Thanks for all the input!
Peace
