ANY AVAILABLE BUILDERS IN CHICAGO?

[pmassignani]

I have a 1964 Revell Triumph Drag Bike kit, 1/8 scale, that my Dad has had since he was a kid, and I'm trying to find someone here in Chicago who would be able to build it for me, so I can give it to him under glass for Christmas. If you can help, I'd be grateful.

Thanks,

Paul

Wow, might be cutting it a bit close. To do it right, it takes a bit of time. I live about 89 miles from Chicago but I think I could not get it done in that short period of time what with the day job and all. Working with a rare piece like that would make me nervous. My own, yes...somebody elses, No.

Thank you for the reply! I figured it might be too close to Christmas. How long do you think the build would take? Can you pm me a cost estimate?

Thanx!

No, I don't think I want to undertake that project. Too rare, and if I break or fudge a part, I have no recourse to replace it. Sorry.
