Thanks for the comments Bob. I am not saying that getting the shocks rebuilt
would not benefit the car or be better than the stock ones, I just have to
juggle a budget concern. For example the next big expenditure will probably
be the tires, they'll cost me about $500 for 5 of them. Peters shocks will
set me back $110/pair. If I can possibly save the $110 I can put it towards
the tires. I can have the shocks rebuilt later if neccesary, I can't roll on
the junk tires I have. Although I don't need tires this expensive either, I
really want the original-looking wide whites on it, which limits my choice
to pretty much Coker/Universal tire$.

Dan....
the seals in original shox slowly "weep" oil
which is the way they lubricate themselves.
Peter C's. shocks use modern Delrin bearings, etc. ...so, no "weeping" or
oil loss
until the bearings are worn out (many,
MANY moons!:)
