You are welcome!!!
I wouldn't disagree with any of the guys here. I don't know Tom although I bought a brand new TR-7 in Memphis in 1977?. I have a lot of relatives in and around there and will check him out on my next visit. Sounds like a great guy to get to know. But, I do know a restoration shop in the Dallas area that is very good. They have four ex-MG dealer mechanics and 2 dealer Jaguar mechanics, plus a 15+ years as mechanics on Truimph (also at dealers when there were dealers). They're a little closer and I have seen at least a dozen of their ground up restorations plus I own one of their cars. Check out www.sportscarwarehouse.com
They are in Arlington Texas... Between Dallas and Ft. Worth. Very knowledgable and very helpful...and affordable.
PS several of the guys ARE British.

The advantage of Tom is that the man that is building it is warrantying it too!! He can't afford to screw up!!

Tony, How much would the best one in your collection set a guy back. Also do you have any vent window assemblies in chrome without cracked welds or frame?
