[Got the Bug]

Byron,

I talked to my cousin tonight. He's a car nut and pretty connected to the hot rod scene in the bay area.

He said the gold standard for hot rodders is Sid Chavers (Brizio uses him for their cars).

A couple of other suggestions and people he's used:

- Bascom Trim and Upholstery (John Wardell sp?). My cousin is a service writer at Courtesy Chevrolet, and he mentioned that all of the major dealer use Bascom. Again, not the cheapest, but they produce solid work.

- ABC Upholstery on Kiely. He recently had the seat on his 32 Ford roadster done. They did a great job, but he said the lady who owns the place is less than friendly. The guys who do the work are solid craftsman. BTW - The seat alone was $700, which based his experience is the going rate.

The quote by Cooks isn't looking too bad.
