Thank to dr challenger for his comment. Same goes for me. I wait, yes,
but who else does what he does and provides so much for our cars?? Anyway,
I get tired of folks bad mouthing him. I could not have completed the cars
we have without his efforts and products.
About waiting, I just called to order emblems for a 53 Chrysler. At $150
each, they will not be ready until January and they won't take the order
until they receive 50% and they don't take credit cards, so a check which
takes more time for clearing, etc. But then, Emblemagic has the product. So
one waits as patiently as possible or gets smart and thinks ahead.
My two cents.
