Yes.....back In the day she was really good. However, I tried to get her to do the ones on the X and it turned into a train wreck. She held onto them for over 6 months dragging me along. I had her send them to someone else.....

A member here does them @dart4forte and does a fine job...I personally have t used him....

justin, i dont think you warned me about her or i wouldnt of used her... she seems like the nicest sweetest older lady with a great Texas accent. She said her husband was having health issues and to be patient... i think i have been patient and she answers my emails when i check up on progress, i guess she fell behind filling orders...Rich

What is a seat belt restoration? Just a webbing change? Are there special stitched labels etc as an option? If I were to get mine done and not looking for replica just new webbings how much would be a good price?

She told me the same story back in 2012........It is amazing how many times that guy was near death.....So from 2012 to now she is still behind on orders and husband still deathly ill.....I was done with the BS and I sent mine to SnakeOyl. Which is also in Texas and they got done in a month......

Sharon did belts on two of my other cars in the past and she does awesome work......I think the problem she has is with not the husband but PLATING........she just uses a sob story to drag customers on to bide time.......

There is no way I would wait a year...get your belts out of her hands and get the member above to redo them......

I thought I did, must have been someone else........My error....

She do phenomenal work......she did the ones in my charger and that was why I used her again. However, it was at a different time that appear hasn’t changed......

I think she has been backed up for years and has problems with her vendors sources....

Ok, was going to stay out of this but I felt a note was appropriate here. Don’t want to bad mouth the competition but the problem with re-plating is you will lose the stampings in the buckle such as the part number and the belt manufacturer. We highly polish all the chrome pieces rather than re-plate. We find that a good percentage of our cores have good chrome. Seems the plating process back then was pretty good.

Another reason we don’t re-plate is to keep the cost of our belts reasonable.

thanks for dropping a note, that's good info from a pro, much appreciated. I sent an email to Sharon today to find out when my belts will be done, depending on her answer, I may be calling you... thanks Rich

So yesterday after posting this stuff I decided to email Sharon and since its coming up on a year I wanted a progress report, its been 3 months since we last spoke... Well I received a voicemail last night and would you believe my belts just got finished and payment was needed...how about that?

 

[moparnation74]

That’s a shocker....

 

[dart4forte]

I hope she sent a picture on a dated newspaper, she's asking for ransom.
