ya, my dad said that theyy needed to be replaced-(got monoe air shocks) but thats a good idea.
shes ok in a way- doctors say its surgery or a life with pain medicine. we are looking in to another specialist.
i need to get working on something on the trans am, i always feel better when working on it. thanks for the input

dads been driving the trans am because his DD is in need of new exhaust. he says its been running good.
i just hope nothing happens/breaks.
its good to see him driving it again, brings back good memorys and it makes me happy to think that i helped get it back on its feet.

i was looking at getting the suspension upgrade/fix-is hotchks a good company? they had a set of leaf springs and hardware for $400. and im not sure what shocks to go with. i can get some adjustable/sport ones from car quest for cheaper because of the descount from work? and i should replace the body/chassis bushings?

i have a video i have been making (movie maker) and looking at from when i started in 08 i have really got a lot done.
* its running better. im glad my dad can drive around town, he needs it with all the stress he's got.

finally got time to try out the turtle wax black box, it did well-since the color of the car is a matte color but im sure if you had a glossy coat (starlight black) this would make the black look really good. it worked well car looks good very smooth,made it shiny glossy. well my dad liked how it looked so im happy. it took 2-3 hours though. lucky i had the wife to give me a hand.

WOW, it looks like you did a great job!  It looks like fresh paint.  Great Job!!!

[racereaper7]

im just glad my dad really liked it.
