    Wow!!!

    Beyond expectations, is the only way to describe what Josh did for me. I sent him my potmetal 1950 Studebaker bullet and asked him to try and smooth over the recessed letters ("S T U D E B A K E R").

    Josh did it on time, no grief, and terrific workmanship. Thanks Josh!

    Thank you very much!
    There's nothing like getting on the HAMB and seeing someone showing off my work and giving me credit for it!. I love it.:cool:

    Surprisingly, there was enough thickness to wipe out the letters and retain rigidity, but the remaining exposed casting pits and rot from the bottom of the letters needed to be drilled out and soldered in.

    Josh:

    Actually, one of our local HAMB & EGGERS (Bobert) plans on bringing you some front pieces for his 50 Oldsmobile, I believe this week. Treat him nice. Bill

    Not only is Josh here on the HAMB, but he doesn't keep your parts forever. Stu

    Josh is working on some parts for me right now. I can't wait to get them back and see his magic up close.

    Here you go Doc. I was concerned whether this one would polish up well, but I think it took a nice shine.

    Chrome Plater Josh's fanclub? I'm in!

    Sent him a turd of a oil canister cover and got back a nickel plated jewel! Tiny job for him but that didn't affect his craftsmenship. First rate work. Pleasure dealing with him and his business manager (his wife).

    Soon as I can fund it, you'll be plating it Josh, no matter what "it" turns out to be!

    ~ Thanks Carl
