1978 NYB Preservation Project....Sort of

[78Brougham]

I agree completely.. I've never dealt with sms and i have no intentions on doing so after hearing this story! Sorry Bob for your trouble, but I'd cut bait and sick the dogs on them!

It's hard to believe it's a Michigan car from that era and it doesn't have a spot of rust. Even the vinyl top has nary a bump under it!

Nary?

No, Took donor parts from 74-77 NYB and cut and welded it together to use the small cam setup. Have to do the same thing to the linkage rod end that goes from the wiper transmission to the wiper motor.

Was there a problem with the wiper cams on these cars?

Are you coming up to the museum show on June 11th? Mike is and I think he's going to be solo. You guys should convoy. Weather permitting were going out on Woodward Friday night for a burger and some serious cruising.

she thinks she has more vinyl material and still doesn't have a clue when it will be finished or shipped.

So, she thinks but knows nothing for sure. And that took how many days? Good thing you could not reach though the phone.

Practice these words "May I speak with your manager, please". Say it nicely, but firmly. Repeat as necessary.... go up the chain.

My 2 cents.. I was emailing Original Auto Interiors regarding a new too for mY NYB, this guy Kevin Tamblyn was VERY helpful, got back to me right away eveytime, answered all my questions, sent me samples and for $225 shipped, I'd have a new top in a week. But I'm guessing SMS was the same with you in the beginning.

I'm with the others on this one though , call the bank demand a charge back and order a new top from another vendor. Maybe even report them to the Better Busniess Burea. Get it out there that there service SUCKS.....

I paid $505 for the top and $102 extra for Next Day Air delivery from SMS.

Auto Interiors told me @$400 and I would have it in 2 weeks.

I wonder how many sales they lost because of her!

I could probably be talked into that.

Call your credit card company, voice your displeasure over the item delivered and the poor customer service and request your money back. Then go to Original.

Just a reminder. You'll need a 1" ratchet or cinch strap across the hood and trunk in high winds if you park it outside. Bungee cords don't work.

So an entire week went by with no resolution from SMS?

 

[cantflip]

Golly they SUCK... sorry Bob, I hope plan B is in motion.

 

[monaco75]

She can pull off the topless look just fine for a while lol.

I would stick to the plan though, and get the correct blue V roof back on once the timing is right.
