I need to find a B&F guy in the Chicago area who will take care of the following items for me.

1) Align doors
2) Install and align convertible top
3) Align door & rear qtr glass
4) Install windshield & reveal moulding
5) Install rocker moulding.

The only interior pieces in place are the dash and carpet so this is a nice straight forward job, it is just beyond my skill set. I contacted one company here and they would not even give me a ballpark quote. I do not expect an exact dollar quote but I need to know if we are talking $1,000.00 or $10,000.00!

Thanks, Harry

Did you try Old Coach Works in Yorkville, Illinois? They do very nice work.

That was the one company I contacted, lol. They do really nice work, but I need to have some idea of what I am getting into price wise, well at least until I win the lottery.

Hey you should give this guy a call, it's a little outside Chicago area, but his work is second to none- www.thebumpshop.com

That Judge on his home page is sweet! I went down to Ogden Top and Trim and worked out what I think is a decent price on the top. I also went to my local B&F guy to have my "new" core support welded and he was just finishing up a door & window alignment on a 60's Buick GS. His work looked good and he is willing to work a decent price for me. I still have to polish all the trim before I take the car in, but I will post prices and pictures as things move along.

Thanks all, Harry
