OH, great car ! I also have a 68 Plymy Sport Sattelite that will be made into a 68 RR tribute car. Similar to the new one I ordered in 1968 1/2. It was the same blue as yours ( or similar) with a black vinle top--2 dr. hdtp. What color and # blue is that you have there?..................MO

I took Brutus to the upholstery shop last week. We picked out the materials and talked over the design.
Challenge--being an old , overweight 6'4" geezer with bad knees, getting out of a B body in an enclosed trailer that has no side door , without scratching the new paint. I think I will get someone else to do it next time ! ................................MO

Not yet. They got the new windshield and gasket installed. The man was supposed to adjust all the windows and get them so they would operate smoothly---but forgot to do that . The Up. guy has had the headliner on order for some tiime now, he starts at the top and works down. He says he doesn't want to order it from another place as he knows the quality from his source. I got new armrest bases and pads. Brutus is inside his heated shop-taking up space, so maybe he will get on it as soon as another car already there is done.......................................MO

I will only take so much BS and excuses, and then the S.H.T.F. ! First part of May, I gave him two more weeks and I was coming to get it. I mean what I say. Nothing done in that two weeks. Almost 5 months and only things done were door panels and inside quarters, and package tray. He has the headliner--now he can eat it as I had not paid for it yet. I picked the car up and let him know in no uncertain terms , what I thought of his customer service.
Anyway, we did a thrash on Brutus to get him road ready by June 4th. There have been some little problems to work out--(another story) I will try to post some pics of Brutus at this past weekend car show. There was no class for unfinished or project, so I was in 1960-70 modified. Altho I don't cherish trophy's , I did get 2nd place , which was nice- un-expected. .........................................MO

I just don't understand how some of these businesses stay in operation with this kind of customer service. You are a very patient man for waiting that long.
For me, **** would have hit the fan at 30 days or less.
