If you're talking about Coffman Corvette in Mansfield, OH, they have been advertising in the NCRS Driveline for years. I bought a radiator support from them years ago - is was a very nice reproduction. I didn't know they were doing restoration work other than convertible tops.

I used them to repair two rust holes and repaint my header. They did a great job for a reasonable price. Also, I do think that it took longer then it should have to return to me.

I needed one of the bumps on my 63 radiator support and they sold me one at a very reasonable price and were gracious and kind on the phone. The replacement piece was dead on to the bent up one without the bend. I would use them again. Paul

I bought my radiator support from them, looks and fits great, would do business again if ever the need arises.

We are not having the same luck. Have a 63 support and the spot welds are popping off the extra gussets at the bottom. Major nightmare to get it back out of the car to send back. Going to try to weld it in place.

Thats to funny. If you zoom in you can see Tobi, my sons dog is just sitting. These two siblings will only do the dodo it in the back yard. Even I take them for long walks, they will wait till we get home and go strait to the back yard.

I have had Coffman repair a couple of headers also...due to it is pointless for me to spend the time due to what they charge is quite reasonable. Although I can repair these parts...the cost would be much higher due to my rates. And each time I had to have one repaired by them..I had time that I could wait. If I needed it the next day...I would stay up all night and get it done...but it would cost my customer much more money.

And as for l how long it takes to get it back...I do not sweat that. The time it takes is just that.... and as long as what I get is exceptional and looking really good...then I can not complain about how long it takes. Doing repair/restoration work for a living...I understand when a person/company wants to get it right the first time.

Now...if it took a long time and came back crappy....that is something else entirely different...but that is not the case and was not the case for me.
