[TPR] The shocks are here...

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Initial test fit of the shocks tonight.  As indicated in Dennis Quella's 
instructions, I'll need to trim the mounting tabs on the car a little in 
order to clear the top hats on the shocks.  argh.  I was hoping it was 
just a straight bolt-in affair.  It won't take much, maybe an eighth 
inch overall.  Otherwise they are all set up with appropriate spacers 
for mounting the bolts, nicely machined and a snug fit.

I'll try to get some photos tomorrow.  BUT.... this darn cold is moving 
back into my throat and I may declare a down day tomorrow for recovery.  
We'll see what happens.
