Hang in there. Jim is a GREAT guy and I’m sure he’s backlogged. Hopefully he’s ok. He won’t do you wrong.

Oh no he is not. He could not follow my simple instructions on shipping and which switches to restore (I sent him a couple of each so he could choose the best cores). Then he got seriously bent out of shape.

I will find someone else to do my work instead of him or I will do them myself.

I just spoke with Jim Saturday...your parts are in good hands ...heck your switch is probably one of these on the table for assembly, I noticed all these in the background of one of the photo's he sent me of my part. 99.9% of people are extremely satisfied with his work, he's a one man band and makes all these replacement parts even the rivets.

Not sure this would have been the best approach Jim. As a professional restorer, I will never let anyone touch any of my electrical parts other than Jim, he is without question, the best in the hobby bar none. I've been friends with Jim for many years and I'm guessing with the 3 posts you have, this might be your first car that needed his type of talent? This hobby is extremely small, for us that have been in it for any length of time, will tell you Jim is definitely in the "Good Guys and Buddy Club" and anyone that tells you different is one of those that, no matter what you do, will never be happy.

I'll second that. He did the dimmer for my Challenger. It's perfect. He sent before and after pics while he was doing it.

I am patiently waiting for my dimmer switch as well. My switch went to Jim in January. He has emailed me back during that time with some updates. With the weather turning nice I would like to get things back together.

I did not have any problem with his work. Dealing with him was the issue. I also know a restorer that also had a total falling out with him.

BTW - this has been hashed out before on this forum. This is one of them...........

I emailed him a few days ago about my WW wiper switch restoration and got a reply in a couple of days.
He has had the switch for just over a month and said it will be ready to ship this week.

Good afternoon i would like to let all of the people that follow this site that Jim from JS Restorations did contact me and all is well. He shipped my dimmer switch and i should have it tomorrow. I made a couple of posts a few weeks ago and would like to explain. I made the posts in caps which i did not realize meant that i was yelling. This was not my intention. Jim explained his situation and he had a set back and all is well !! Thanks for taking time to read this.
