As mentioned above, it may be a good idea to get the NO I book of Andrews. It gives the "basic" stuff about your A. The NO II book just gives you ideas on how to modify your A.

You can buy a "set" of the current type of grease fittings from most vendors. Then go about changing the ones over you need to change or if you don't want to change, you can get a "conversion" type tool to fit on your current grease gun so that you can use your current gun on the old type fittings. Again most vendors have this thing.

The need for shocks may depend on how you want to drive your car. If you only drive it to the local stores to get coffee, etc. then you may not need them. But if you want to get out and drive it on longer trips, then it is worth getting them. There are a number of vendors that supply shocks. You may want to look at the list of vendors listed on the top line of the Ford Barn site to come up with the options. I used M & S Hydraulics in Oregon for my shocks. They sell a set of new aftermarket shocks.
