When removing the front shocks on a 40 Ford sedan can it be done with the cars weight on the ground or should the work be done on a hoist ? Kenny C

Beautiful car. These old gals are total therapy.

Greetings guys. Like to hear some feedback regarding replacement or repair of 1940 Ford shocks. Not cheap.....yikes !! Kenny C

Greetings, Any advice and/or experience out there for radials for a 1940 4 door sedan deluxe ? Shocks, springs and front suspension good. Would like to get the best ride I can and I like wide tires within reason of course. Thank you !! Kenny C
