Just a bit of info. I went to Hampton Coach and ordered my interior and left my seats behind to have them done properly. They are repairing the spring portions of the rear seat as they were in tough shape. Jim Rodman has the wood for the rear seats for the 2dr Coach and is shipping them out next week. Now I'm down to the woodgraining for the garnish mouldings. Have located the windshield garnish mouldings. Looks like I'm heading for home plate.

HEY LEO, WAY TO GO. IF YOU KEEP GOING, YOU WILL SOON BECOME A JUNKYARD PUPPIE ON THE DOGS TEAM. ALL KIDDING ASIDE, JIM RODMAN AND HAMPTON COACH ARE A REAL BLESSING TO ALL THE CHEVY PEOPLE DOING RESTORATION ON THEIR CARS. WHO IS GOING TO DO YOUR WOODGRAINING??????? THANKS DON

Don, I don't know, any recommendations????

Leo

HI LEO. I HAD MY GARNISH MOULDING DONE BY GERRY LILLIAN IN KANSAS, ABOUT THREE YEARS AGE. GERRY SOLD HIS BUSINESS TO MIKE BENTON IN NEBRASKA. YOU MAY WANT TO CALL HIM AND TALK TO HIM ABOUT YOURS. MY GARNISH MOULDING WAS PHOTOPLATED IN WALNUT GRAIN. THE PEOPLE WHO UPHOLSTERED MY CAR, DAMAGED SOME OF THE MOULDING AND I HAD TO SEND IT TO MIKE TO BE REDONE. HE DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB AND IS A VERY HONEST PERSON TO DEAL WITH. I THINK THIS IS A GOOD PLACE FOR ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HAVE THE MOULDING DONE LIKE THE ORIGINALS. IF INTERESTED CALL 402-339-8283 THANKS DON

Hi Don, Thanks I will give the a call.I should have the windshield moulding I was missing after the 3rd of May,And hopefully I can resolve that issue.

DOES JIM RODMAN HAVE A E-MAIL ADDRESS? HOW DO I CONTACT HIM? THANKS

Jim Rodman's phone number is: (219) 797-3775

Hey!! Stop sending people to Jim Rodman until he finishes my wood first! I ordered it 3 years and 3 months ago and I'm still waiting for the last few pieces.... sheesh.... :rolleyes:

His work is absolutely great, but I want to drive my car before they take my driver's license away from me due to old age!

The line forms here...

Bill, I know how you feel it took almost 4 months to get the pieces I ordered they did not have them in stock and had to wait while the make some more. the problem with being good at what you do is everyone wants some of your time, you usually run out of time before you run out of customers. Keep the faith and call often that is what I did. Got the wood pieces I think it was so I would quit bugging them. It worked for me

This is another reason why I own more than one old Chevy... that way I have one to drive, and and one to work on...

Although, I frequently end up working on the one that I drive!!

Yep, I know the feeling, I often wonder if the guys that own a half a dozen of these old beautys ever sleep?.....

YEP MR MACK, I OWN ONLY ONE OLD CHEVY AND I DRIVE IT ALL THE TIME. IT ALWAYS RUNS GREAT,BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE PROBLEM, I ONLY DRIVE IT IN MY DREAMS?????????? WHEN RODMAN DONE MY WOOD KIT, I ORDERED IT A LITTLE AT A TIME AND JIM ALWAYS SHIPPED THE PIECES TO ME IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. I EVEN SHIPPED THE DOORS TO HIM TO REDUE THE WOOD AND GOT THEM BACK FAIRLY FAST. I THINK JIM IS A LOT BUSIER NOW THEN HE WAS ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO. I BET HE DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH HELP TO GET ALL THE ORDERS OUT AS QUICKLY AS HE SHOULD.

Good news, Just got off the phone with Jim Rodman,my wood is all done,its been ready for 3 weeks, one man out sick so will probably ship next week. I asked about Bill Barkers stuff and his reply was "Bill Who".

Leo

Oh man......Billy Boy Barker is dead in the water now!!

WOW??? JIM RODMAN HAS HAD BILLY BOY BILLS DOORS FOR MAYBE THREE YEARS NOW, BUT ,HECK WHATS THE HURRY, BILL DOES NOT HAVE A GARAGE TO WORK ON HIS CAR ANYWAY. SORRY BILL, WHEN I TALKED TO RODMAN LAST WEEK , I MENTIONED YOUR DOORS TO HIM AND I TOLD HIM, NO HURRY BECAUSE YOUR GARAGE WONT BE BUILT FOR TWO MORE YEARS SO TAKE YOUR TIME ON THEM. ? HIS REPLY WAS THAT HE PLANNED TO TAKE A LONG LONG TIME ON THEM, IF HE COULD ONLY REMEMBER WHERE THEY ARE. OUCH????????????

Oh man.......Billy Boy Barker is really, really, really dead in the water now thanks to old Donald!

Thine ship hath sunk. (S.S. Billy Boy)
