New Shocks

Hi all,

For anyone interested I`ve posted some pic`s of my
new shocks and the brackets I made up. Also a pic of
my clock mounted in the original radio hole, But its
not a very good picture. Enjoy

Looks great! Not just the new shocks/mounts but everything that you have done. I too like clean firewalls.

Like that dash extension. Does the column feel OK at the angle?

Thanks for the compliment, appreciate it. Actually, the column angle has not been changed. The lower dash is the same dimension as the original column drop.
It`s as comfortable as Henry made it.
