He recently did a Lambo on an Escalade for one of Our boys going back to Iraqi and it needed to be done in 3 days or some short time frame turned out to be for this project and non bolt on abilitie. It does not take as long on some rides and takes longer on others. Some of the companies out there are selling, OH just bolt on apps. using regular hand tools. They are full of it. Some kits are closer if designed for exspensive high end rides but, the number that are way bigger jobs is unreal. Anyway the young man if I remember had his own kit (not sure) and out of box fit not good to be nice about it. Dragon pulled guys off other projects to help as well as Dragon and some guys worked thru night because this young man had to drive it to Colorado where he was going to train before heading out on second tour. Dragon does whatever to make it work better than it was supposed to and as usual he drove the ride himself as he does all customers so that he makes sure the ride is as good as it was when it rolled in and normally better than it was. There was so much extra work the kit needed it blew the shops minds and budget for labor etc.. Fortunately the shop had it ready almost 100%. Fortunately the young man was coming back before deployment and the shop will finish the body work required as well as painting. Before it left the first time they hid cosmetic things that were needed to alter as the kit was not even close to hours they said install was to be nor the simplicity. He has not made it back yet but, Dragon will need to do some paint work not even hinted at in kit paperwork. Knowing Dragon it will be done to perfection. I know because knowing Him means you know he is such a perfectionist.
The purpose of even bringing this up is to express my concern the bad rap mods get given by some cheap work or just not experienced enough yet shops. It is so much more important as to who you choose to do your work than the name brand of a kit. A shop commited to quality is a must for these tougher than what kit builder claims.
I would go along with what was said already and that is to stay after the installer of the mod til they get it right. If they were not commited or experienced enough to do the mod a quaity shop would pass on the project.
Good Luck and I hope You get the doors worked out.
