Defend him and justify his business practice all you want. I'm still waiting for him to return a call for one of my MANY messages I left over a few months time a few years ago...……Like many others, I've long since given up on him and I'm glad he never got any money out of me. I think he left town long ago

With me, he never took any money until he was ready to ship.

I may be mixed up (in more ways than this!)
I thought Paul was out of it (maybe retired or deceased) and had turned it over to his son; whose name escapes me!
The person that was staffing the Hershey space a few years ago was not Paul.

I think it's a "Jr.-Sr." thing.

Just curious what you did for a year and a half?

I don't know if you've never done a frame off build, but a yr and a half is not really inconceivable. Granted throwing money at it.

Bradley is a crap shoot to me. Would like to do it... but... to many issues. It's a gamble I guess.

Obviously they are the best in the market. This same thread for at least the last 10yrs, or anothers pops up for at least this long or more.

I needed floor pans for my 35 coupe, called his company number and got Paul. Had a great conversation, he promised to send them in 2 weeks and they came, right on time. He called the day they were to be shipped and said they were leaving and my CC had been charged. The pans are gorgeous, and he makes up a shipping box so pretty you don't want to open it.

I would gladly order from him again.
