It took him over a year, and occasional hounding, to send my '62 Chrysler
wagon taillight lenses. (First time produced, made from a mold he made
from a pair of NOS he'd acquired.) Not until 3 months after I said "Please
just cancel the order and refund my money" did I receive them.
BUT the lenses are gorgeous and irreplaceable, and I'm very glad I waited.

Oh man I wish I had read that stuff before I ordered.... I had no idea
what
I was getting into.
Its not the end of the world, but $220 is not an insignificant amount of
money to lose. I'm one unhappy customer so far.
caveat emptor.....
