Re: [Chrysler300] MetalCrafters - reply

["Don Verity" <d.verity@xxxx>]

I have to agree on Charlie that we should be patient with metalcrafters
about the reproduction quarters. They obviously have more important projects
going on, and aren't in the business of making reproduction parts for a
living. Since they are doing prototype cars for the big three, they probably
have there hands full with the new car introductions only a month away. I
don't see anyone else volunteering to do 57 - 59 quarters, or anything else
for our old Chryslers for that mater. They should however at least return
calls and give some idea of when they will be done.
300ly,
Don
