Question for you SouthWest experts. If you have SouthWest refinish and or make shafts, what is the turnaround time? Just curious always wondered. Thank you guys.
 
Last work I had done took almost 2 years. And I'm a good customer and friend.

I wouldn't let anyone else do it though, so it's worth it.
 
There was a guy (don't know if he's still alive) that was a specialist guru with Triumph motorcycles, real Triumphs, not the ones called Triumph today. I was dealing with him a lot around 25 years ago, I had a classic Triumph chopper, and in fact still have it today. I bought parts from him from an old school mail order catalog, and a primitive web site, and only once went to his shop to meet him. It was kind of a pilgrimage.

He did amazing engine work and rebuilds, and had an amazing stash of rare high performance parts. If you sent him an engine, he wouldn't tell you how much the work would cost, and he wouldn't tell you how long it would take. Lots of people got put off by that but that was fine as he always had more than enough work. Some people would get work done elsewhere, and then end up sending it to him anyway after someone else couldn't do it, screwed it up, or just didn't do it very well.
 
I emailed Laurie at SWC a few months ago... she said SW is not accepting any refinish work, at this time... see attached email...
