Hiya Spike,

thanks for that. I did check out Angelo but the only mention of a location was Summerdale, AL. I presumed (wrongly???) that Angelo was part of Riv-Rad, and was therefore in AL.

Is he in NY or NJ??
Kind regards....
Ken

Riv-Rad was in both states the last I checked. Angelo was in NY. Haven't seen him post in a while though.

Hi Ken, I answered on the other Ge also but what about TJ Murray? They are only about fifty miles south of NJ.

Tom and John Murray are genuinely good people. Their shop does good work. I would highly suggest TNJ's services. i'll have to show some before and afters someday. Ralph from Ga can provide plenty of after shots...

I went to TNJ's to pick up a load of parts I ordered on line and can say they are indeed very good folks, I was allowed to rome the entire yard and shop and I am glad I was in my car and not a truck or I would have come home with way more then I needed. :shock: :lol: :lol:
