Good thing done by 50Resto/Latemodel Restoration

[wythors]

I'm a big proponent of 50Resto and their products. I've spent several thousand dollars with them over the last several years and have always had good results. The only real issue I ever had with them was resolved quickly and personally by Shannon Guderian, the owner of the company. They are a major sponsor of a lot of shows around the country and even help me out with my little Fox Body Picnic up here in the Pacific Northwest. They have a lot of stuff that nobody else sells, they charge a reasonable price and they get it right, more often than not. Do you need another reason to buy from them?

Check this out.

I love 50resto as well, I only use them or summit. I couldn't even tell you how their customer service is because I've never had to use it!

Late Model Restoration is hands down the best company I've dealt with. I too have spent several thousand dollars with them and have only had a couple of problems among the MANY transactions.... and each of them was a non-issue because LMR made it right with no headaches or aggrevation.

They even went out on a limb and went above and beyond what was expected of them on one occasion by getting involved with a problem I had with Performance Automatics. I bought one of their AODs through LMR and it was defective right out of the crate so I called Perfomance Automatics to have them honor their warranty and all they gave me was the runaround and BS. When I couldn't get anywhere with them, I called LMR and they called PA and told them to cut the crap and honor the warranty and stop treating me badly. They even went so far as to threaten PA that they would drop them from their catalog and never sell their products again if this is how they were going to treat customers.

VERY stand up people at LMR... I highly recommend them because you can't go wrong with anything you buy from them. A + + +.

Link dont work for me

It works for me, but here you go:

AUSTIN - A Central Texas soldier got a big surprise when he returned from his Iraq deployment thanks to friends and businesses in the Austin area.

When Staff Sgt. James Roach, a soldier in the Texas Army National Guard's 36th Infantry Division, headed to Austin Tuesday, he thought he was just going to pick up his 1997 Ford Mustang after a friend had some brake work done on it. What he did not suspect was his decade-old car had was fine-tuned and showroom-gorgeous.

When Roach and his wife, Tracy, stepped into the service bay of Continental Collision, Roach could not believe what he saw. The car waiting for him was his, but instead of needing a paint job, it gleamed bright red and was surrounded by about 25 smiling, clapping automotive service workers.

"Wow," was about all Roach could say as he grinned from ear to ear and walked a circle around the dazzling Mustang.

The idea to surprise Roach with a renovated car originated a few months earlier while Roach was on his mid-tour leave. It was then that Dr. David Butler, an Austin-area family practice physician, noticed that the driver's door of Roach's car sagged and was hard to open and close. Butler, who is a Mustang enthusiast, commented on the door at the time, but Roach thought nothing in particular about the conversation.

After Roach's went back to Iraq, Butler approached Tracy, who works as a physician's assistant in his medical practice, about doing some work on her husband's car before he returned home. Once he sold Tracy on the idea, Butler, a retired Navy medical officer and veteran of several deployments himself, contacted various Austin-area automotive shops about helping.

Once the project came together, Continental Collision, Austin Infiniti, Meineke Car Care Center, Late Model Restoration Supply in Hewitt, Delgato Restorations and Elimident were all on board.

It took about two weeks and more than $10,000 in materials and services for Roach's Mustang to be glistening and ready for his return, Butler said.

The work that turned Roach's 1997 car "almost new" included an engine tune-up, brake adjustments, door repairs and the addition of designer rims, tires, new lights and light covers, window tints, new mirrors, an interior detailed cleaning, and, most importantly, a three-stage paint process that brought the color back to a brilliant Mustang "red metallic pearl."

"The car was kind of red-faded-to-pink when James was on R&R, and the driver's door just sort of hung on," Butler said. "When I saw it, that's what gave me the idea that we should do something to honor him for his service."

Roach bought the car at a used car lot in Killeen when he was a active-duty soldier at Fort Hood several years ago.

"I was absolutely speechless when I saw the car," he said after this week's big reveal. "I couldn't believe the love and support Dr. Butler and the rest of you have shown me."

Nice job Resto! Although I'm not as loyal as some of you guys b/c I like some of our other sponsors as well. Especially the ones with FREE SHIPPING

 

[fiveohwblow]

Yeah the shipping pisses me off, but they have worked on making that a bit better... either way, businesses will attain their margins through the products if not charging shipping. If a company is doing both....
