Re: Got my Jimmy back

It looks sweet. I noticed you have a door button (open close switch). What are you using that for?

Re: Got my Jimmy back

Hey Mark, The truck looks great. I like the top. I hope that everything is going good. Is the truck running better now? I could use a couple of pictures of the truck done and outside for the website. Hope everytihing is good and that you are happy with the results. Thanks, Jon.

Jon,

How are you? I'll be by to see you to pick up the grill and other parts, assembly manual etc. I'll bring pictures when I come. It is running good, but a little rough. I put the stereo in, speakers, bikini top. Been messing with speedo cable. Haven't really used it much. I will probably be at south easton tommorrow night.

Yepper, she is looking good... I will check my door post to see if I also have the on/off switch.. If so I will hook it up to the interior courtesy lights and the ones for the top... When it's on anyways... I bought the original connector off of fleabay that allows you to quick disconnect it when transistioning the top off/on...

The bedliner is also a great idea.. I used it all underneath but did not think about adding it to the interior ..? Maybe overkill but we will see if I have it in my budget as I was planning on using sound deadener and a heat sheild also on the floors...

As for the grill, I just picked one up today used for $100 and I have a local guy that will strip it, take out the dents, then have it rechromed for $250... Here is it's current condition...

Yes, it is a business here in Orange County and I will drop it off Monday and then I will post some more pics when I get it back and I will also talk to him about this thread and see if he is open to some extra business.. I will then provide complete info for him and maybe he can set up a vendor program link if he wants... I just don't want to start quoting prices without him being involved.. That is why I took mine over first to get the quote and work it into my budget... He always request a clear picture of what the object looks like before he will quote as we all know that sometimes what you are describing to me, is not always the same as what I might think it looks like.. Yes, I checked around quite a bit before locating him.. All the chrome shops have crazy prices..!! Just for the three grill bar pieces on my Willy's pickup was over $250 to get re-chromed... I have not been back to that place... LOL
