Larry I have noticed several GMC owners in the last month or so of traveling
that have remodeled their interiors and removed the louvered doors. you
should be able to get some maybe from Alex Sirum.

Alex is on vacation. I met with him last week near Buffalo at the Heritage
Cruiser meet. Jeff is the only one at the shop so things may have been held up.

Troops..........I spoke to his son and he asked me not to use the E mail for
a while because they have a new desk lady and don't check the E mail that
often. They're just a small outfit. He asked me to telephone for fast
service. He sent my stuff out the same day........Davis

Mr. Nelson,
Alex has had his hands full moving into his new building and ordanising
the years of stuff had had sqirreled away. I'll bet he hasn't had a
chance to see if he had mail and answer your post. I have a hard time
finding time to get through the Email every day, I have over 200
unanswered right now! Give him a call tomorrow at 1-941-763-1121 and
ask him first person.

He is a great source for such stuff.

I had a full set I pulled from a renovation but sold them a few weeks
ago. My next job is a Palm Beach interior but I don't know what we will
be doing with the door & drawer fronts yet, will keep you posted.
