Anyone used Tuffwheel to restore anything?
« on: October 01, 2007 - 04:48:41 PM »
 The grille and bezels on my '70 Challenger looks nice but I've decided to get them restored by a pro. Tuff Wheel has the best prices I've found but does anyone know anything about them? quality of work and customer service? there's an outfit here in Oregon but he's a real peach to contact and deal with, I'd rather ship my stuff somewhere but I'm not sure where to go.

I'll let you know how my grille and bezels look when they get back. they say 3-4 week turn around and it's been 9 weeks so far with no promise of when I'll get them back.  glad it's winter and I wouldn't drive it anyway.

Well I got my grille and bezels back and they look good, not great but good. no anodizing was done just buffing and painting which I could have done myself.  they forgot to rivet the corner peices and center brace back on and now I can't get anyone to tell me if they have them or if I'm even going to get them back. I forgot to take my new emblems off before I sent it and got back a good R/T emblem and a junk Challenger emblem, no word on that either.
 
 So to sum it up for anyone else considering using this outfit, well you can probably guess my answer. if I get my stuff back I'll be less than impressed, if I don't I'm flat pizzed.
