Boy, John, you sure had a different experience than me. Terry and Steve have been very pleasant to me. I can't imagine them treating a customer the way you described. They fixed a couple problems (some minor dents in a couple radiator shells not caused by them at no additional cost. They didn't catch the minor dents until I inspected the shells. After they fixed the dents, I couldn't tell were they ever were. I sure would like to know who you had problems with.

There are some people that are Model A specialists, instead of just platers. Craig Riker knows what to do and you are not re-inventing what you want done with any plater.

I have used Craig Riker several times and was well pleased with his work.

Ask Don Turley where he gets his plated. I bought one of his instrument panels and it is just great!
