Finally got around to changing the rear shocks on my 1979 Hurst/Olds. The old pair had been replaced back in 2003. They only had 20,000 miles on them but were definitely showing their age. Plus, I changed the choke tubes and assembly.

Nice job grasshopper. Now come over to my house next weekend & make the '79's worn paint shine. I'll have the Jr. Mechanic hold a (root) beer while you're doing.
