lol im at work ill post by monday.
The shocks were held on with 3 bolts each. Mounting brackets were attached to the shocks one end with a single bolt on the head of the shock on the other. The single bolt went into the fender mount bolts hole while one of the bolt holes on the bracket was used for the hood/hinge mount bolt.
Very simple. Used existing hardware and holes. It all depends on the mounting bracket used by the donor car.
Seriously, just go to a local junkyard, find a newer car, test shocks, snag them and fab up a mount.

I'm not sceptical about it being an easy mod, I'm sceptical that a simple-fix like you found is as high quality or permanent of a solution as the ones they are doing in this thread. Nothing against you... REALLY.. I just won't believe you until I see pictures and stuff..
Think of this as an equivalent to "Lets see the dyno sheets".
