My car is not even bottom of the pit. Mechanically the car is in great
shape.
Just needs a lot of body and interior work. I am not afraid to pick up a
date
in it, just needs work. Would not hesitate to drive it across the country
tomorrow.

My female friends call it a "guy thing". There is this urge to spend money
even
there is nothing wrong it. Besides the shocks, the current project is to
install
a center console. Got one on eBay from a '70 Mach1. Fixed the clock and
now
it just needs painting. I don't even know if it needs shocks. How can you
tell?
Thanks for your advice, it was well received.

Bounce each corner (push down smartly and release). It shouldn't
bounce more than a couple of times, getting shorter each time. If it
doesn't bounce, or if it continues to bounce, you probably have a
problem. Also, if you can push down on a corner and have to physically
lift it back up you have a problem.
