[T3] the DDB

[David Sanderson]

Hi

Thanks for the reply. Can you give me more details about Chuck? I had  
ordered an alternator and the door seals that the DDB put together as  
well as some chrome molding. I have to admit that I am nervous but if  
you speak well of Chuck then maybe it's worth the effort.

Thanks.

Dave
