>Hi Gang...

>My 57 Fury had air shocks, so had been replaced before-I am restoring my

>mounting studs by a good 3/4 inch at full extension.
>Now my chassis is just a frame (body off frame resto) with the diff,
>springs at the rear-nothing else.
>Do you think that having the body on the frame would be enough for these

>frame on wheels, I can lift the rear quarter/trunk area off the frame
>with one hand, and I'm not Steve Austin, so it's not that heavy.
>Wouldn't that mean that when it bottomed out, that the shocks would be
>bottomed out first (if you know what I mean), or have I somehow ended up
>with the wrong length shocks at the rear?
>The manual is no help-it does not tell me what length I should have. And
>unless someone else with a 57 or 58 Fury happened to have their shocks
>out, then likely they would not be able to tell me the length of their
>shocks.
>Anyone?
>Also if anyone on the List has a dashboard on it's way to resembling a

>I did a run of 6. 4 have now been bought and paid for. And they should
