To late, I built my own. The fun part is trying to weld them back together with the oil in them. I think I have the only slant six that will get air though, LOL

How much for the KMart shocks Jim? LOL. And thanks not only to Calvert but to you for lobbying them to make them available. I'm sure John Irving and others have asked for them but know you've been after them for a while.

Jim: We have been testing and running the Calvert Shocks for well
over a year now. Check out Video on Jon's new SS/MA car (Vegas) to see how smooth they work. Randy and Jon have been drilling and sleeving the lower control arms to adapt conventional shocks to F Body's for quite a while, but the new shocks will be much easier to use. Last time we were up at Calvert shop, he had a whole F Body K member and suspension to mock up the newshocks. The is no sharper or nicer guy in the suspension industry!!
