Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

That's awesome that Perry went above and beyond with his customer service even though it's not his fault the wheels are later than quoted. Sadly you just don't see this level of customer service anymore. Big ups to Perry!

And nice steering wheel Al!

Steering wheel looks very nice!
Is it a 14" or a 15.5" wheel?

Hey Big Al!

Your wheels are leaving tomorrow finally! I confirmed that the steering wheels can be powder coated as well! Also stay tuned on some new wheels from Billet Specialties with many finish options...

Al thank you for your business and I look forward to talking to you in a few days.
