Some of you may have been aware that Dan Patch (Kansas City) was a source for concours type look-alike Autolite shocks for our cars. Last year Dan suffered a stroke. He contacted me in November because I had an active order saying he would NO longer be producing the shocks due to his health.
Well, last week he called again stating he was going to carry on making the look-alike Autolite shocks. He has not fully recovered from his medical issues but is much better. What has changed is that his Son has agreed to get into the business with him and do the "heavy lifting" part of the work. From my previous experience the lead time is usually six + months but I always received a first class product.
He stated the lead time should be about the same as before and the product will be the same high quality as before. He ask that I post a note on the Forum that he is back in business. The contact information is the same as before.
