Naw, man, I've been working! Got some new responsibilities and been travelling a lot. Can't hit a moving target. Ask Ken Steele!

Also you can only reply to so many threads about shocks, etc.

Yeah, I guess I should 'splain a l'il. Mine is leased at 15,000 miles a year. Quite frankly, I enjoyed it so dang much that I was way over on mileage in July. I bought an old 91 4WD Exploder to get me whereever I wanted to go. Kinda enjoyed driving it but this will leave my summer free to drive the CL as much as I want. I was a year and 4 months into the lease with 23,700 miles. It now has 23,800 and it should have 25,000. I take it every once in awhile. It's sparkling clean and enjoying garage space with the LeMans and the Harley.

Yeah, don't drive it until the waranty expires and then be pleasantly surprised by the failed tranny.

I am 6'2", the garage ceiling is 7'. That door track haas a sharp edge on it at 6'1.5". I finally got tired of hitting my head on it. Hence the Duct Tape Engineering".

Your LEMANS is the number one car made into a GOAT, time to upgrade the side markers to read GTO. I had (for 5 years) a 1970 Trans Am w/RAM III 400 engine. I rebuilt it (restored) and it ran really strong. What engine is in your Lemans. For the last 12 years I have restored 1966 GT mustang fastback with all the options except a orginal am/fm. Still looking for one but its very rare find. I'm judging by your toys your in your forty's(?) or near; not to many people left who will put up with muscle cars. I'm finding it harder to justify one myself because my CL-S runs circles around it and is very comfortable to boot.

Ha, you have me figured out! It had a 400CI engine from the factory, very unusual. I ran the VIN and came back with all the specs. The previous owner blew that engine up. Now it has a 350CI small block with Weiand manifold, Edelbrock 750CFm 4BBL, headers, and a slight cam. Not as fast as the CL-S though.
