I had my 4053 List Holley recolorized and gone through by C&J in Sante Fe Springs, CA. When I picked it up, I asked them, "what am I supposed to do with this, put it under glass on a pedestal?" The thing looked that good. Almost art of some kind, every piece part replaced. 'Course the cost ($566US) kind of warranted it, as some (a lot) of art is not that expensive. In their defense, I insisted they replace the base plate when they did not think it was necessary. I just didn't think the almost microscopic crack was going to go the long haul. That alone was 100 chunks.
One of my disributors is going over to Dave at (I don't have the clickable thing down)
