If it was just the paint I would very happy. There are lot of other problems, clutch, brakes, suspension, missing body bushings just to name a few. We have a lawsuit against the shop that did the work, but we all know how long that can take. David **

I don't know what your budget will allow but you might want to check out the Cobbler's Shop. He painted my El Camino when I lived in Phoenix. I can't say enough good things about the quality of his work and customer service. http://www.cobblersshop.com/ Herb _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED

Rich, It looks like the drives side remote sport is available in reproduction for under $90. Classic Muscle shows it available and I am sure the others have it as well. Looks like you will have to find a donor for the passenger side. Seems that that was a dealer installed option even in 71-72.
