   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.
