Step 1 = hang the 2 rear shock absorbers on a jig

Step 2 = build the entire friggin' car around them!!

Spent most of the afternoon, and up until about 45 mins ago putting new air shocks on the "Green Mary".

I really want to find the accountant and/or engineer that decided not to use trap-nuts on the upper shock mounts, and thought 5/16" bolts with 10mm heads was a good idea... then to use a 1/2" nut on the in-accessible backside of the upper frame mount. (well, I suppose 13mm is the same as 1/2")

Wound up lighting up the gas-axe and using the air chisel... twice! Gotta luv rust country.
