friction shocks

this is for a traditional hot rod project for a friend, he doesnt like the look of regular shocks on the car and wanted something different so i told him about friction shocks INCLUDING the fact that they dont ride as smooth etc etc. he asked me to look into them for him and said if i can find a way to build a set it would be cool. he likes having friends work on his cars and likes unique pieces. i told him id look into it. also i figure if i can make them right then there might be something to making a few bucks on them on ebag, looking around i found that apparently there are a lot of guys from the trad rod scene looking for them.

also it would just be cool to learn to make something out of the ordinary
