For what it's worth, 3 of my very best repeat customers are guys who came to see me originally with a project they needed to be bailed out on....and all have been almost constant customers with a project in the works or pending since then.......

I gotta agree with that,,absolutely true..

I was the fella that did the asking the other day.
We're swapping our '51 Ford School bus from left-hand-drive to rhd.
And struck a snag.
So I approached Willie Roach of Eagle Automotive to ask for help.
(Over the years Willie has converted certainly hundreds if not thousands to rhd.)
Not only did he give me exact and precise measurements as to how to go about it, he let me loose in his workshop to take as many photos as I liked of works-in-progress.
It was much appreciated.
(Mind you, I s'pose I've known Willie better than thirty years...we do go way back...)
A top man.
An honourable man.
And yes; I owe him.

Thanks Willie...you saved a lot of angst.

Good on you Steve. You not only helped a fellow shop owner, but a customer too! I know what you mean about him advertizing as a hotrod shop, you would hope they would know how to do custom suspension work. I'm here on this site to learn stuff like that from you guys, and make doing my project, mostly myself possible, so thanks from me too! I hope he appreciated you help, as we do watching your work here!:cool:
