    I HAVE used MIke thru the years, pretty fair guy, sometimes not always on time ,but he has been doing it forever. He installed the front and rear glass on my 57 big window truck for a Bill..

    Yep, that is what I heard... take the amount of time he tells you and double it, or subtract two weeks from your "real" dead line. it goes back to the old saying "you can have it good, fast or cheap. Pick any two"

    If he is good and slow, that wil work for me.

    I almost finished cutting the insulation... it is not glued in yet and I still have some edges to finish out.... I also ordered the Eastwood version of Dynamat... (back ordered) I built the seat frames so they would bolt to the 1" tubing under the floor... I trimed up the rough edges on the seats... Rick dropped off the 1st panel he sewed so I could get excited about it...

    I have not put a tape one in awhile... I think it is 117". After Autorama, I need to spend a lot of time with a tape to get all of the allingments done. I will get you an exact number...

    Thanks Big Ken for the diet coke ;) last night... It made the wife happy.

    Djust: Yes, the light is at the end... I want to break this girl in and start putting miles on her... Around the block is all I have so far... now that I have glass and seats, I can't wait!
