Ok. I was not aware that they were utilizing different methods than what they were known for in the past. Thanks Dean.

Thanks for the information. Also for the offer of support Brian. My one stumbling block was resolved yesterday on the disassembly. Just needed a little more pressure. I will also call Larry DelGrego today.

There are cyanide case colors and charcoal case colors. Make sure you know the difference, what is correct, when, and what is not, and who does the best job of reproducing correct case colors in a true restoration.

DelGrego is for all intent and purpose a one man shop. Occasionally Lawrence has a helper but mostly works alone (as he has told me). It can be a long wait. When Lawrence rebuilt my grand dad's 16 VH, I had him send the metal to Turnbull for re-case coloring. Colors were satisfactory but I'd follow the recommendation above and call Brad Bachelder first. Brad's work is first rate in all respects.
