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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

Yes, Sam has been doing better and being involved and helping Dad
with the Pantera this year. I've been using it as leverage for
things like homework too. (evil dad) :)<br>
I told him that tomorrow night we might put the new shocks in, so
he's all excited about that. He can't do much other than watch
and listen, sometimes handing me a wrench if I help him through
identification. I -do- try and talk my way through what I'm doing
as much as I can to try and engage him so he learns. Even if he
doesn't absorb it all now, his brain -is- catching some things, so
it's valuable.<br>
<br>
Shelley tells me he passed four feet recently too. I may end up
the short guy in the family before too long.<br>

... and boy are they pretty:<br>

They came with spacers already mounted to the shock eyes, a
special installation tool and an instruction sheet with
photos. A package nicely done by Pantera Performance Center.
We'll probably work to install them tomorrow night, and take
more pictures.<br>
