Anyone interested in powder coating services here in Michigan, or elsewhere,
should look into Creative Material Handling Inc., AKA Chassis Powder
Coating. http://my.voyager.net/mvb/logos/CPC1.gif Sorry for the lame URL but
this is not an image that is referenced from my site. They can handle
everything from a full size chassis to valve cover screws. They have done
some very nice work for me in the past. I am somewhat biased, as they are a
sponsor, but I sincerely would not recommend them if they didn't do good
work. Please let them know I sent you.
I do have a 1978 Spitfire for sale. All the details are not together on one
page yet but there are a few pictures available at
http://my.voyager.net/mvb/forsale/ This car has a ton of new parts, is in
fantastic shape and has served me very well over the past ten years. I hope
to have a details page put together by the end of the month. Until then,
forward any questions.
Regards,

>I posted a question to the list, in March. ( Re: powdercoating 5 Spitfire
>wheels ) I recieved three prices. ( $ 600 from NAR, $ 300 from Really
Healy,
>and $ 250 from Fred Thomas. ) I went with the offer from Keith Thomsen at
>Really Healy, since he was half the price and local. I dropped the wheels
of,

>powdercoat. I was also told by Keith that he would look into having the

>after only 6 weeks !!! After numerous phone calls and e-mails, most of
which

"work",
>and he was insulted !!! He was more concerned with the feelings of the
