d5, my trim was straight from the pits of Hell and Dana did an amazing job with what he had to work with. As I mentioned above, the lower was exceptionally bad with a large gash in the metal that could not be repaired so it was replaced with one of his cores.
I really don't believe the quality -- or lack thereof -- has anything to do with whether Dana will work on it or not. He doesn't do trim resto full time and has had a waiting list for as long as I've known him. Although my business is vastly different than his, I'm only one girl who can only take on so much in a day ...... and everyone else in line gets to wait their turn. :-D
