Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

Even from a distance, look at the body lines on Alan's truck in the background, nice and tight and the reflection of the light is one straight line. Very nice job Alan!

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

I've seen this type of work all to often.It's really frustrating the kind of crap work that so many businesses put out. Then to top it all off they take their sweet time and charge for a quality job.

You don't have anything to worry about now that Alan is on the project. He does top quality work.

Thanks Captain for the vote of confidence. I'm thinking labor wise it would be cheaper to get repop doors and fit them. There will be less labor involved and would last longer IMHO.

Alan

Glad to see that you got some work, and it is not another miata...while looking at the pics, I was thinking the same thing about the doors, repops might be a better long term solution even though you can get these back in shape with your skills.

198plus

Welcome to the board, your truck is in good hands. When Alan gets yours done, that will be 2 trucks he has made progress on in a short time, really makes me feel like a slacker...
