Re: Has anybody replaced the rear horizontal shocks?

I am curious if anyone has come up with a definitive answer on rear horizontal shocks for '66. Talking with Gabriel and Monroe technical staff, Monroe has a "shock" that fits, but both Monroe and Gabriel warned me that, mounted in a near-horizontal position, there is a possibility that the...

Re: Strato seat details

OK that helps a bit Roland, thank you. As for the top of the seat back, I see on the top of the seat back panel that it clips into something, but either I am missing that something (maybe in a box, I did not disassemble the car), or maybe it is covered up with some upholstery. Would you mind sharing...

steering shaft conversion

The "rag joint" on my '66 steering shaft decomposed and is toast. I can get a new one by Borgeson (US made). However, my shop is recommending I switch over to a Borgeson telescoping/collapsible shaft, for improved safety and a tighter "feel" in the steering. Seems like worthy adv...
