    What happened to Lakeside Restorations?

    Does anyone know if they are still in business? I ordered some stuff in the past but I tried to search online and the domain name is gone.

    You can do some research in this forum or Offshore Only on their business practices which will give some clues.

    They were pretty high priced. DonziDirect blew away their estimate on a new back seat bottom.

    I wouldn't have come out with this if they were still in business but, yes, there have been problems with poor upholstery to poor fitting cockpit covers and a major resto job botched that ended up coming to Michigan to get finished.

    I remember Jamie was always belligerent to others who tried to promote their business on this site. He would whine about them not paying dues or something to that extent. I kind of found it lewd that he thought he had a monopoly here Oh well I guess

    How about Donzi Direct,,, does anyone here know someone from there? I ordered seats from them back in February
    It is very difficult to get in touch with them to say the least. Seems like a very long time waiting for these seats. I really want my seats. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated
