Curti Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I am restoring a 1936 Auburn, and am looking for a new 'gage guy'. I have had some bad expirences with a couple of shops; poor turnaround, shoddy work. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Peterson Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I'm glad you two cleared that up for me. Having never heard the term "gage guy", all I could think of was that it had something to do with the thickness of metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please note because how good he is, he does have a backlog and it will take 9 months probably for a restoration.

HarryJ Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Curti..........Could give us an indication as to which shops did not live up to your expectations and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 Thanks Tbirdman, I'll give Bruce a call. I do not want to badmouth any business on a public forum such as this. If you are interested in my expirences, send me a PM. In reference to temp gages, give Roy Martin a call, 802-862-6374. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
