RE: [Chrysler300] Radio Conversion

[Sam Cohen <scohen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I met Jeff Carter a few months ago when I stopped by his shop after looking at a 300 someone else had for sale. Jeff spent almost two hours answering questions about 300s, showing me his parts inventory, and talking about what kind of work his shop specializes in. I then mailed him a power window switch to rebuild and he turned it around in a few days. My experience was completely positive.

I expect his responsiveness has a lot to do with what his business relationship with  you is.
I haven't restored a lot of cars, and I have only the same 300H I've had since 1964. 
I'm just finding parts tough to get and responded to his advertisement.
