Re: Interior woes

  I sent parts to Layson's to be repaired, including  dash bezel, steering 
wheel and the plastic dome lite bezel. The dash and dome lite they told me 
the cost up front. The steering wheel would have to be looked at to estimate 
a repair cost. Was it expensive? Yes, very.  Was the workmanship good ? I 
would also say very good. Did it take awhile for the parts to be returned to 
me? Yeah, sure did. Any problems?  Yeah, my dome lite bezel got lost 
somewhere. I called Layson's asking were it was and they said they had no 
recollection of ever receiving it So, I kissed that piece goodby and started 
the process of finding another. Well, about 5 or6 months later here comes a 
package from Layson's with a re- chromed dome bezel and a note saying sorry 
that they couldn't find mine and for the delay and everything, but here was 
a nice shiny bezel. No charge.
  I dealt with a lot of different outfits and people while rebuilding my 
car. By and far most were friendly and very helpful and informative, even 
the guy from Mr. G's. There was a certain aluminum anodiser in Sandy Or. 
that was a real jerk and I would never recommend him to anyone, but he was 
the only one.
  I think we have to remember that there are only so many people that have 
these products and do these repairs to a limited clientele. They are 
expensive and take a lot of time, so you can't be in any big hurry. This 
doesn't mean people can't be held accountable and they should be. But what 
it boils down to is that we participate in a very expensive hobby with 
limited parts and pieces ( especially Mopars ). Just time and $$$. But 
that's easy for me to say now that my car is done.
