Yah, it happens to everyone...
I'm glad I didn't throw in the towel last year when it seemed that EVERY FRIGIN' WEEKEND I was having to dump hundreds of dollars into Topless for one thing or the other. With 100K on it, I guess it was time for alot of that stuff to go.....
I just had to buy the new top and glass last week, another $400, and Late Model Resto. just called me to ask me if they sent the right glass! I went to check, and lo and behold, they sent me the wrong glass. i ordered the rear defroster, and they sent it w/out! But, they are sending a new one out today and will pay for the shipping of the other one back to them.
BTW: I have dealt w/ Late Model Restoration many times, and they are WONDERFUL!!!! They are helpful in finding what I need and every time I talk to someone, they are SOOO nice. I"m not used to Parts places calling me all the time to let me know when they ship things and if theres any problems to call them!!!!
Just wanted to get that plug in!!! I've been very happy w/ thier products and thier customer service has been Top Notch!!!!!

Good luck w/ your repairs, Josh!!!!!! It WILL get better, eventually!
