Default Lightning Fast Service

I sent my 68 oil pressure gauge down to Bill Harrison Speedometer for an electric conversion and face restoration on Tuesday May 11, and emailed him today Saturday May 15 at 3:00pm to see if he received it ok. He emailed back at 7:35 pm and said it was done and would be sent back to me on Monday. I expected to be without it for weeks but apparently Bill is a car guy too and knows how important it is to have your car for cruise season. My hat is off to that kind of service that is hard to find anymore.

Hey BJ,

Let's see whose car is up and running first. The other part I needed will be here Monday and then in goes the center gauge console with the converted gauge.

Bill does excellent work. He was also extremely quick doing the conversion and restoration on mine and it looks primo.

Just let me know when to start the clock!

Looks like you'll make the Bair's show.

I don't know if I will make Bair's this year after all. I developed a miss in the engine after sitting through the winter and it's a two hour ride up to Bairs. Business is good in my shop , so I just haven't had time to check it out . I think it's in the points distributor and I bought the HEI with tach drive, but again no time to put it in. Maybe if I would get off this computer huh ?
