First step is to get the real cost of parts. I suggest getting the parts from Brooks, Ltd. They have all the action parts for old S&Ss. Explain to her how the cost of parts was far greater than you had thought. Tell her you hate to teller this and give her a price for different levels of the work. All, most and some parts replacement. If you do levers and butts consider your time and double it. You can get a list of parts costs from Brooks, even by fax, and show this to her and explain your markup policy. Lots of luck. Newton nhunt@jagat.com
