RE: [Chrysler300] 300 H Restoration Help

["John Lyons" <John@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi club,

A quick Dennis Crooks story for you:

Over a year ago, I called Dennis and had a very nice conversation about
getting my wheel for the G done.  He said he would do it and I sent in a
check.  I sent a note to the restorer asking that the core be sent in to
Dennis.  I never followed up with either party.  I was at the shop last week
nudging them along on the restoration and asked about the wheel.  They had
not received it.  I pressed further and it turned out that they had not yet
sent in the old core.

I nervously called Dennis (it has been a year) and asked about the.  He
happily stated that he had the wheel in his 'done shelf' and did not want to
be a bother...that he knew sometime restorations ran long (he used to do
Jaguars).  We both had a laugh about it...the core is on the way in and my
new wheel is on the way to the restorer.

Good guy and a real character guy....sounds like you can't go wrong working
with him!

Happy motoring!

John

Michael, for steering wheel restoration, try Dennis Crooks @
www.qualityrestorations.com. located in Southern CA. I  have talked to
him and understand he is the best. Two years ago, cost was around $900
because he had no H molds. If more than one order will bring the cost
down, I as well as other club members may be interested.  Doug Warrener,

I tried to sell this "project" a few months ago and when no one decided
to 
go for it, we made the decision to redo it ourselves. It has taken me
over two 
years to do my 1934 Airflow and I want to do this one faster. The H is 
currently in the body shop and I need some advice from other who have
gone before 
me. Specific questions:

1. Best source for a new wiring harness.
2. I misplaced the email concerning the non-destructive disc brake 
conversion.
3. The heater box inside the engine compartment is trashed; anyone have
an 
extra from a junker?
4. reasonable, prompt re-chrome source
5. steering wheel rebuilder

Thanks in advance to anyone who can contribute to the project.
