The pictures look real nice and so is the description. BUt it is Ebay....
Is he asking for $500. for a whole new set? That's not a bad deal.... If you are interested or in need here is a link to a local store nearby to me where I shop, that sends all wood to a guy in NC for refinishing of the pieces. You can contact them for any requests. Very good people ask for Mike the owner... http://www.overseasparts.com/

Sorry, I don't know anything about him, but it does look like a good deal. Let us know if you decide to buy it, someday I will need to do something with mine too.

A good wood contact is Madera Concept in Goleta, CA.
If you send them your wood, they can redo it very nicely. They made a piece for me to go over my AC vent on former 126 car.

Another thread on this site was talking about the same person:
http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=149294 I was looking at the guy's products too. His ads sound good. Good prices too. Possible he has a source and is not marking the items up as much as other places. Would also like to hear from somebody who has received one of the kits.

I would find out if you can get recommendations. From what I have read in articles from several sources, this guy is the best: http://www.heritagewoodworks.com/

I have seen some of Drews work. He makes it look like new. He had a 123 wagon that he restored the interior on, it was unbelievable how nice it looked.
