Subject:      Major thanks wood interior help!

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. =)

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!"
