I have used them before, and I do have one issue regarding their business practices....
they sell certain repro items that do not fit
right and are not acceptable, and then when you
call to complain, they tell you that no one else has complained about the product. This was my experience with them, and there have been other posts in this forum with this same complaint. A good example are the repro 69 GTO
front fenders...they don't fit, but they still
sell them and if you ask them before you order them they will claim that nobody has complained about them. Other vendors quit selling these fenders as soon as the problems became apparent,
but the parts place will sell anything that they can make a buck on and tell you that you are the only guy who has complained. I bought
some reproduction Hurst wheels from them, and the rims are not made right....the trim rings will not go on them if a tire is mounted on them. I called to complain and the owner said nobody else had complained and refused to believe that what I was saying was true. They took them back after much hassle, but I had to pay the shipping! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>


BINGO!!!

I ordered a PONTIAC name plate for the trunk lid of my 72. They said it was an exact reproduction. When I got it it wouldn't fit the holes, it was about a 1/4" short from one end to the other. When I called, they said mine must be wrong (It's a 56k original mile car - only the block has been changed!) I finally got bumped to the supervisor who said that if I sent mine to them, they would credit me for the one I purchased and it would help with their quality control - once they solved the problem they would return mine with a new one as well.

Well, stupid me sent it, and yup, they never got it. Life is too short for bull**** like that - do yourself a favor, don't use them!
