Ronnie, be sure that you take the fill bolt out before applying any heat. I know that you are knowledgeable, but this is just a reminder. Years ago, Pete ? from Long Island didn't remove the fill bolt before he applied heat to a model A shock and it exploded. He was hurt pretty badly.

Hi Nick
Thanks for the information besides restoring my Deuce pickup I also have Jacks three window project underway as well. Not wasting any time staying busy as usual.
Ron

Ron, I heard about you getting Jack's 3 window coupe. Good for you. Now the car has the chance to see the road instead of sitting in the garage for years as it has been.
