I'm thinking about getting one or more of my engines custom weathered from him. I'm just trying to figure out if he's a good weatherer and if this is a good idea in general. I've bought from Scott before. He has very nice products. Cheers! KingBuick.

Considering the level of service I get from him I am happy to pay the cost. I note there is a consideration on the price if the models to be weathered are purchased from Scott. Jeremy.
