Not surprised to hear of 'similar experiences'. I have always wondered about those testimonial pages on business websites - always full of glowing accolades; but they obviously don't post the 'bad ones'!!! It really isn't that accurate of a dipstick on customer satisfaction, but it does give one a 'false sense of security' when deciding on who to deal with!?!?!

Re the quartz conversion, yes, it is an option and Clock Works does them - apparently one can go with a 6/12 volt power option, or a battery operated version. I think it significantly changes the look of the back of the clock and, in as much as that is very visible when the glove box door is opened on the '39, I thought I would try and keep it original. And, not that I ever plan on showing my car, as it is a daily driver, but I have read that quartz conversions warrant demerit points when a car is judged. Just sayin'.
