They have been here in the Chicago area for many years and even though it's been awhile since I did buisness with them(back in the 80's) I have heard more negative things about them than positive.

I personally had a bad experience with them concerning a pair of #16 heads. I ordered a set of 1969 #16 RA III heads with screw in studs, large valves and 72 cc combustion chambers. I recieved 1970 #16 smog heads with pressed in studs, large chambers and small valves. I paid to ship them back and recieved a refund minus shipping charges.
Again, I confirmed EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED, reordered the heads and waited for them. AGAIN they sent me 1970 #16 smog heads with pressed in studs, large chambers and small valves. Again, I sent them back. I never recieved my money back for the second set or for any shipping. With the price of the heads and shipping I lost about $700. I contacted them and tried in vain to get my money back but finally gave up. I know of others that have had a good experience with them but unfortunately it wasn't me.
Purchased a set of brake drums from them and I stated the drums needed to have the 2.78" hub hole. They said they had them and would send them out. Upon arrival they came with the 3.03" hole so I called and they said no problem and that I just needed to send them back. I sent them back priority mail and of course they never got them and they never came back to me from the USPS. I guess I am the idiot for sending them through the USPS however I am pretty confident they received them since the box I sent was the same box they sent and was labeled very well. We all pay for our education!

You are better off going there and checking out the parts yourself before buying. They are just down the road from Volo Auto Museum, if that tells you anything. Based on other complaints on the CP board, I wouldn't get anything mail order from them.

Bought a 67-69 Firebird TH400 crossmember for $40 about 12 years ago. They shipped me an NOS GM part smile.gif
I was happy with that.
