When I bought my 29 Std Roadster the shocks were not on the car. I had a card board box with the 4 shocks and quite a few shock arms. I was fortunate to have the shocks rebuild by Robert Paul just before he passed. They came back looking like brand new. I just recently mounted the shocks on the car frame then tried hooking them up with the arms and I am having a terrible time. Seems like nothing is lining up properly and I have not seen any diagrams or tutorials that help. Are there any illustrations and/or instructions available. My google searches are not finding much. MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!

Pictures of what you have would help. Are they all stock components?
