This place looks like it does nice work, but when I inquired about their process about a year ago they acknowledged that they had to mask off the raised lettering on plastic dashes because their process would fill in around it causing a loss of detail. This required them to go over the lettering afterwards with silver paint. Stuck out like a sore thumb in the photo I saw, IMO. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I talked to Henry's mother last weekend,and she said Henry is coming along from the stroke he suffered nearly 2 years ago.He is talking and fully mentaly sound.He is working on getting his hand dexterity back,so he builds model car kits every week.He is still in a wheelchair,but was before the stroke due to Legionnaire's disease.
Being only 57 years old,he is doing remarkably well and they expect him to get his range of motion back soon.
He is off all medications and living in a private home now with a caregiver.
His goal is to get back to restoring dashboards again,among other things.
