Thanks to the several folks who stepped up with the request for help relating to the need for 5'x5'x.125" wood for the interior of the on-going '67 Resto from "Heck." Following the tip from Bill Keating (willke@fullnet.net), the wood was located at: Peterman Lumber 15492 Slover Fontana, CA 92335 (909) 357-7730 (5'x5'x.125" White Baltic Birch priced at $8.90 per sheet!) Dang cheap as Home Depot wanted $23.00 +/- for 4'x8' and another local source <who flaked out on me> wanted $20.00 per sheet for 5'x5' and never got it to me. The flakey place did call late Friday to say that they could get it in by this coming Wednesday as a special favor but the $8.90 was less than their cost! I knew that Jim Davis (syncrohead@aol.com) and family were planning on driving to Phoenix for business reasons. JD was nice enough to reply to my whining (er, ah) request/imposition for help and transported the wood from CA to PHX for me. Thanks again to Bill and Jim for the help. This truly helped me BIGTIME! I am still thrilled. =) -ellis\ BTW: I also plan on installing the wood in the '83 Westy as a replacement for the bad wall paper effect. "OOOH Ellis goes Custom!"
