[2003/May/7] I have done small time bodywork on my own cars for years, but am ambitously taking on a '59 BN-7 Austin Healey restoration. I found Everett selling panel repairs on EBay, bought some parts, and now I buy lots of repair panels from him. His parts fit very nicely, they are heavy gauge, and anything special he will try to accomodate. I bought a dogleg repair from him for one side, compared it to the M**s one I had for the other side with the non-wired edge, thin metal, and "made in Taiwan" sticker on it, and went ahead and bought another one for that side from Everett and threw the M**s piece away. He is also very patient if you ask him questions. I have spoken at length to him about welding techniques, how to plan repairs, what to beware of, and he is very good at explaining what to do. I think he told me he is trained in England on sheet metal work. If you have need for one of the panels, and panel repairs, I recommend talking to him with no reservations, you may be able to get him to make stuff he doesn't list if you have a piece good enough to pattern off of. He always answers the telephone. He always ships when he says he will. He tells you what he can not do, and does what he says he will do at a fair price. And if you don't like what you get, he will take it back. -- "Bob, Kim, Rob, Bandit and Pepper" <thewalkers@qwest.net>
