Trunk Shocks

[fraido2002]

Alright folks I'm trying to convert my trunk from strut bars to the trunk shocks from the late 78-81 regal I believe. I got the trunk shocks and brackets from a junk yard car, but it was a while ago and didn't take pictures of the exact spot where to mount the lower bracket to the wheel well. So if someone could please take some pictures of the stock locations of that set-up and post them here for me I Would greatly appreciate it. I do not want to drill the hole in the wrong spots in my wheel well. this is the set-up I am talking about.



Here is where I am at now.

The only way I can see is for you to crawl into the trunk to see where the shock lines up with the trunk closed, or take the trunk lid off so you can see

I just need some pictures of where it bolts from the factory, I'm sure someone out there in this forum have that set up factory.

Someone out there has to have this set up.

I have good news and bad news. I went back to the yard where I got the shocks from and the car I got them from was gone. The good news was I found a monte carlo that still had the whole set up in it. So here are some photos.

This is what I came up with. It is close to where the factory had it but since I had to trim all the crap out where the strut bars were, it fit a little different.
