Progress update...........
It don't seem like I've done much since the last picture post. I've spent alot of time this week on the phone trying to find someone to make the stainless trim parts. Monday, after waiting 3 weeks for an est. from the place I thought was a good choice, I called and they finally had a est. for me. $3300.00.
That much for a band to go around the grill, wrap the bumper framing, a visor, and something to look like air cleaners.
I guess what sticks in my head with the other pete I built, the customer had someone he knew at a fab shop make the band for the grill. The cost he told me was $150.00. That to me is more like it. I found out Tuesday who done the work for him, so I called, said they would have a est. for me tomorrow. Called twice since and yesterday. The guy told me he was just getting ready to start the est., he would call after lunch. I said ,Today? He said yes! Never heard from him! Now I'm thinking, if it takes this guy 4 days to get back to me with just an est., how long will it take them to get the work done? I really don't think in Dec. their that busy. I have contacted some others and I'm waiting to see their estimated cost.
I hate to have to depend on someone else!
Hate it.
On a brighter note, it's coming along. Slowly! Alot of detail work with the dash/glove box and the windshield insallation. The rest should go quicker. Dec 24th is the planned done date. So we will see, I know I'm going to try hard to meet that!
Here's some pics. and thanks for letting me vent!
