My Roadmaster front shocks are shot and Irene is complaining of motion sickness.  I want to replace them with modern gas type shocks. What modern make / models of vehicle ( preferably heavy duty SUV or light truck ) can be used. I know I'll have to modify the bottom mounting fork. Thankyou.

The last of the special built pedal cars will be going up for sale at the RM Auctions in Scottsdale in January. Built by the renown restorer Fran Roxas, this "Dusey" is truly is another work of art. |
