Hi Gang... I am wondering if anyone on the List can let me know what length my rear shocks are supposed to be. My 57 Fury had air shocks, so had been replaced before-I am restoring my car as concours as possible, so I ordered some from USA. They look nice and fit the mounting studs, but the rear shocks are short of the 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 shocks to fit my car? With the body sitting next to the chassis on a 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 toast rack, as so many I have seen are, then you might want to check out http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1174779110 Reproduced by Claude Leech (since retired) of Dashboard Restorations, and a finer repro you will not see-guaranteed. I did a run of 6. 4 have now been bought and paid for. And they should help to pay for some more chemo for my Fury body. Glenn Barratt, 57 Fury. ------------------------ Yahoo!
