I don't have any experience with Bob, but from seeing his work here you've definitely picked the right guy.
Looking forward to seeing some before and afters

Bob is a very nice guy and does great work. He worked on my father's Red 1680 and did a great job.

Do you have any "before" pics that you can post?
