CBoz Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Hello -Just wanted to let folks know that there is a person out there who does *superb* work restoring old running boards. His name is Hunley Acuff, down in Georgia (706-866-4875), and he also advertises under "Services" in TWOTZ. I sent him my badly beat-up ones, one of which required substantial work on one end to get back in shape. What he sent me back are absolutely beautiful, like-new running boards. Three cheers for Hunley!Attached is a pic that shows the front end of the boards, just to give you an idea of the detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBoz Posted September 4, 2003 Author Share Posted September 4, 2003 $600. Yikes! But look at it this way -- it's one of the first things you see, it's labor intensive, and no one else does it. When he retires, whaddya going to do? (At least those are the arguments I used on myself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBoz Posted September 4, 2003 Author Share Posted September 4, 2003 I'll tell you what 600 bucks is, Dale. It's another room in the house I have to paint or new flooring I have to put in <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />. You see, my wife is a firm believer in <span style="font-style: italic">quid pro quo</span> when it comes to this car stuff. Smart woman, even if her taste in men is a little dubious! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
