Spiral Shocks - Rebuild??
I know this topic has come up before - how do we get original spiral shock rebuilt?
I have several assembly line dated spirals and would like to have them rebuilt internally - i can restore the outside easily enough. I have heard people saying try this guy and try that guy - BUT never have i heard a response that was - wow outstanding rebuild - actually - i never heard of the results of the "try these guys"......sooooooo I'm going around on this again looking for potential restorers for the shocks.....anyone have a good lead, experience with someone ...OR....this is just not possible?? Appreciate the help and advise |
Re: Spiral Shocks - Rebuild??
Eddie, Dan Patch is very well known in the Corvette world is quickly becoming the end all be all for shocks. He has a few services:
-Restamp service, he will take new shocks and stamp a date/part # which are undetectable on the show field -Restoration service, restoring your original shocks mechanically and cosmetically -Antique service, he will take your original or his restamp shocks and make them look survivor-esque, great rust, patina etc. I've used all three services many times. Turn around is about 2 months. Cost is not cheap... I think about $300/shock? Being said he is a true craftsman and his work is fantastic. Good luck! Dan |
