Sids shop was my first choice. I just about fell over when he quoted that price. I figured maybe 2K tops. After all, we're talking about carpet, door panels, kick panels, and a trunk liner. The seats, dash, and area behind the seats have no upholstery. Everything is flat panel.

"About 5K give or take $500" was the verbal, which was made after seeing interior photos, not the car itself. Perhaps he just didn't want the job, thought I was a millionaire, or didn't like me.

I visited Cooks. The shop looks busy, and so far the service shows that he may be too busy to take the work on in time for the WSCB. I was there last Tuesday and met the owner (Craig Lynch), who was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. It looked like a great fit. A quote was promised to arrive a day or two later, I've called 4 times, and nothing so far. In fact, in 4 calls I spoke to a person once...the rest of the time, I got the machine and left friendly messages. I'll go down there again this week. Hopefully my experience will improve. My guess is it won't...it's standing room only in that shop, I think he's buried beyond hope.

So, if you have the info for that other shop, or any others...it's probably time to open up the search again.

Thanks for the help,
