Re: Legendary... just in their own minds?

[Butch <waedison@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This should be my final post regarding Legendary.  I'd gotten nowhere
with them regarding some ill-fitting door panels for my 64 Sport Fury
until Jim Altemose contacted them for me at Carlisle, then I got
immediate results, so thanks Jim. I sent my panels in and they did
whatever they do and sent them back, no cost to me except the shipping
to them. They look great, just the way they should. Unfortunately, the
did not return the extra set of stainless trim I sent them, but there
is always a risk when sending anything to anyone in the restoration
business, isn't there? I don't think I'll be doing this again, so am
glad it's been done correctly and I can move on. Some of you have had
excellent results with Legendary without any issues, so good on you
and hope you have good results with them in the future.

I will send them the panels with a good set of trim, per his instructions in his latest note, and see how it goes from there. Thanks for that Jim. Once again, shows the value of this group, guys like you stepping up to help another member.
