Re: Shock Rebuilder???
[ QUOTE ]
Honestly, how many original "dated" shock absorbers still exist? Everyone tossed them at replacement time. I would honestly have to wonder the extent of the rebuild pool for an item such as a shock.....  [/ QUOTE ] I have six. Four of them are in use!

Re: Shock Rebuilder???
I'd also like to see someone start a rebuilding service. I have a few of the spiral shocks here too.

Re: Shock Rebuilder???
DR Classic industries offers Repro schocks for the Camaro and I believe there may be some applications that will fit A Bodies. Check with them and they may have a source for other applications if there is enough demand.

Re: Shock Rebuilder???
I have heard that the repro shocks do not perform like the originals... if they performed better it sure would be nice.
Also you can definatley tell that the reproductions have the part number laser cut or something that is very precise... the original part numbers have much less definition... the edges of the characters are softer.
