: Yea but they make outstanding paperweights don't you think? Also boat anchors, plant one in the ground under a citrus tree and it will never want for iron, also good for chucking at the neighbor when he starts the lawn mower just as you begin to shoot the final color on a door.
: Kidding aside there is a fellow in Denver who rebuilds shocks, a friend is waiting delivery on some he sent for rebuild. Price is right and if quality is good.... I will report here when Ray gets his back.
Hi Fred..
I think the fella Mike is talking about is Robert Paul in Yoder, Colorado.He has been advertising for years in Hemmings.

: A friend who in the past restored cars professionally says most shocks can be rebuilt to some degree... if you can get them open. According to him most people give up long before the nut is cracked so to speak. I have two soaking in the parts washer, have been there for two weeks. think I'll tackle them today....
