Try calling him between 7:30am & 8:30am his time. He's usually back from walking the dogs at that time. He doesn't really do e-mails. What year are you working with? Dave Entler is still in the business depending on year...Joe

I'm writing this reply so that anyone who is thinking about ordering from Autowood has a clear picture of others experience.
Jim was more than willing to answer the phone until my money was sent in. He originally told me that I would receive a complete kit within 3 to 6 weeks I did not get the parts until 10 months later with me asking for a refund. He told me numerous times that the parts had been shipped which I took him at his word, but they never showed up.
In hindsight I wish he would have told me that he couldn't do the job. This was the worst part of my restoration experience to date.

Well your right here it's been since the 28th of last month i thought my wood was on it's way.Glad i'm not holding my breath.Don't even whant to call him again.May just find a local wood worker.See if they like money.And if anyone's planning to doing wood on there car, better plan for two years of waiting on there wood.They have you by the ball's and they know it.

Hi, I'm not going to eat crow. But your right about Jim and his wood. Waited 14 months and still haven't recieved it. that was 3 weeks ago. I went to Classic Wood out of N. Carolina. I got it last week. still no refund from Jim. Thanks J.

Jim has a lot of stock parts. If he has yours he will send them right out. Parts that are not in stock may take awhile. I talked to him a couple weeks ago and he said his son was helping him.
