Shock Rebuilders
 

Who is rebuilding original shocks now? I need a pair for the rear of my old jalopy and I don't have any good cores. Don't really care about the year, as long as they are original Model A. Does Bert's in Denver still have someone who builds them? Thanks in advance for any help.

M&S in Oregon

You might try Robert Paul in Colorado. He has been rebuilding shocks for many years and is very reasonable in price - $55 per shock I believe with core or $75 without a core.

I recommend Robert Paul in Colorado. Excellent service at a fair price.

Re: Shock Rebuilders
 

I have not used Robert Paul's shocks yet, but will be sending him 31 cores in a couple of weeks. Hoping to get 2 rebuilt sets of early-mid 29 shocks back. He will need to inspect them and call me then will know if I did good or bad with the cores I have. Seemed like a very knowledgable and very pleasant person. Rod

M&S did mine a few years ago and at least 2 of them leaked. I would not recommend them.

Robert Paul is THE guy to deal with , nice and HONEST.

Re: Shock Rebuilders
 

That's the man I was thinking of. I didn't remember his name, just that he was in Colorado.

Re: Shock Rebuilders
 

Robert Paul is who you want - I just received a set of shocks Robert rebuilt for me. Very personable gentleman and very honest and easy to work with. Be patient though. There are a lot of folks ahead of you and it will take from 8 to 12 weeks turn around time but you will receive top quality work. I provided 4 cores and he was able to rebuild 3 and I bought 1 outright. He made sure that the one he provided matched the 3 rebuildable ones. Total cost was $255 including shipping.

Jon would you be willing to sell your old ones. ([email protected]) I am going to see if I can repair them...................terry_rose2002

Re: Shock Rebuilders
 

Sorry, but I have nothing worth selling. The few old rusty nuggets I have are not worth the cost of shipping.
To all of you who responded, many thanks. I'm trying to get our old heap in shape for a tour in the fall and some good shocks are just one of the things I'm working on.

John Holland did a great job on my shocks, at a reasonable price.

Re: Shock Rebuilders
 

When we did the review of shocks we used Robert Paul to rebuild an original, liked it so much we ordered two complete sets.

Re: Shock Rebuilders
 

I installed M&S's new after market shocks on my huckster over a year ago. So far so good.

Re: Shock Rebuilders
 

I recently received a set of shocks from Robert Paul and am super satisfied. He did just what he said he would, they look great and the truck rides awesome with them on. Very high quality guy.

Re: Shock Rebuilders
 

Robert Paul did mine about 3 years and 6K to 8K miles ago and they still work great.

Re: Shock Rebuilders
 

M&S are what I'm taking off. One broke (no fault of M&S, car was in a wreck) and the other..Well I'm not buying any more.:cool:
I just got back from a 25 mile round trip and the car really rides rough without any rear shocks.

Re: Shock Rebuilders
 

If I purchase a set from Robert Paul, is it basically these here?

Re: Shock Rebuilders
 

Model A Fan,

From my experience, Robert sells you the shocks only, not all of the hardware and links that are needed to install them. The ones I bought from him are rebuilt originals, not reproductions. I think you can do much better than $750 going this route, but it does take quite a while for his to arrive. Mine took about 6 months, which I was aware of when I ordered them.

Re: Shock Rebuilders
 

John Holland rebuilt a set for me and I am very satisfied. He matched all of the bases, covers, and pointers so they would fly in fine point.
