Re: Model A Shock
Not a model a for sure
Do a search on V8 for Andy Fallandes (?) for V8 info
V8s can be tough to get apart and restore

Re: Model A Shock
Several comments
Those have fine threads, is the cover stripped?
Pipe wrench not good, use a good strap wrench
if not stripped you may have to use some heat on the cover
Drain and leave plug out

Re: Shock ID
Well it’s not a 31
With the script and non-indented cover its likely 28-early 29
Don’t think it’s a “Pete” reproduction
Pull the filler plug and see what might pour out
Is the shaft free? If you...

Re: Pick hammer dent removal
You mentioned “lead”
If he actually leaded the fix there could be the paint bond problem.
Neutralizing, acids and waxy bleed~thru were always problems

Not all panels are replaceable on model a”s

Re: Pick hammer dent removal

Re: Pick hammer dent removal
Rifle shots are great too
They usually stretch and flare the metal on the exit side
I find them easier to fix if you just get rid of flare and all
Patch a bigger hole but the stretch is gone
