I just need more black so it all matches now. 1 thing I didn't like about the dash pad a small thing is the 4 screws that run along the passenger side the ones below the vents is the holes are not already in the pad and it was no fun trying to get the screws in the clips under the dash. Besides that pad was dead on.
Are you switching the carpet to black also?

Yes sir. Black door panels Black carpet Black Kick Panels A pillars Headliner you name it everything will be black from top to bottom.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

So some of you may ask what I thought you liked the Bilstein and I did. But I had a credit with PB cause the addco sway didn't work out so good plus my ride height front shock measurement is 10". The Bilstein compressed measurement was 9.4" so that only left me with 0.6" before bottoming out in the front. Plus I got something coming from PB also haha. So the combination of all that is why I got the RideTech/Fox shocks. So I spoke with Chase from RideTech who is on the forum nice guys at length about my setup the shocks I have ran which is about 6 different sets and what I like in a ride. So we went over compressed and extended length and such. So now in the front I have 2.5" of compressed travel and in the rear have the c notch and 1" drop I will have 2.5" of compressed travel in rear.

Sounds like the long way around but the right outcome. Just giving you a hard time. Shocks look awesome.

Man I been out of town all week we had a death in the fam. I got them put on yesterday and took it around the block. I was worn out from the traveling we did. But I did drive it to work this morning. I know how I feel but let me drive it after work so I can make sure I am not crazy and i know what the answer is but let me get a full evening of driving on them But so far so good lmao.
And I did get the RQ shocks. I though about the adjustable but I already know myself I would never stop adjusting them I would be out ever day making a adjustment lol.

But man let me tell you these are a top quality shock they look killer. Yes they are not the brushed body like the Bilstein but these look sporty looking. Black Anodized aluminum RideTech and Fox logos on them. I can see why they cost so much. And easy to install. I did notice out of the mono shocks I have ran that it didn't take all my might and no grunting to compress these enough so I could bolt them in. And I say it is because I wasn't having to compress them so far like the others. Cause these are matched up perfect for my ride height. Did I say they look bad ass lol. They do ride awesome. Like I said let me drive them today and I will report back and I will give you in order how I would rank the shocks I have ran.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

So moving along with about 10 different things I am trying to decide on keep the original working 8 track or replace it. If I keep it I will just run my music through my iPhone and Pandora and run directly to amp. Or buy one of those retro radios that I will probably do the same cause I don't listen to the local stations that much.
