http://www.gtoman.com/shipping.php i'm not lying you need to check your facts. you will see what dale is talking about fed ex you need to see the crank that fed ex delivered to him and tried to make him accept. and he even says he will never use fedex. you want to get my thread locked and get me in trouble with py why don't you take a look at the fed ex box and the destroyed crank. and i'm calm i don't like people that artifically inflate the prices of restoration parts. and you need to goto:

http://www.fedex.com/us/fedex/shippi...ge/ground.html

and you will see the shipping zones that is why it was the same price shipping 9779073 water neck to you in MO and to NJ. even if you are only one state away.

i don't rip anybody off that is the price they quoted me now you can see the same price by 7 pounds you will come up with $17 shipping. i'm not going to fight with you you flip parts to make money i don't. you find cheap parts like the $15 pulleys and then flip them for $30 dollars people like you are bad for the restoration industry. thats why part flippers get a bad reputation so don't say i'm having a bad day people like you are bad for the industry. and this is why it is sooo expensive to restore cars. you just want to charge as much money as you can for any part and not sell it for what it's worth.

yeah 6 months of holding on to parts someone can use everything i sell goes within a week. i hope he pays alot for storage or taxes on a barn for all his parts who really wins selling for more just to pay your storage or taxes to the irs on your property? thats why parts are marked up to pay for the place where the parts are stored unless he stores parts in his house and i'm sure the wife loves that one.


and it's not called capitolism it's called ripping people off.

i would love taiwan or china to reproduce every pontiac part even the engines then we will see capitolism. and very poor parts thats why i only use original parts and the gtoaa and all the car clubs should deduct points for repop parts on show cars.

i can show you a original 9799127 XF pulley original and then show thepartsplace repop where the number 9's and 2 are different and the stamping is too deep. piss poor repop parts and hood hinges also your hood falls down they are not strong enough to hold up the hood. i hate repop's they are of lesser quality and made in china or taiwan.

every repop part i've seen is not up to quality like pontiac original parts from the 1960's and 1970's, that were made in USA, repop's are what i like to call piss poor parts.


i've restored a 1969 judge and took 20 years to get all original parts and there is no comparison to a 1969 judge with repop parts the hood falls down it will not stay up with ram air. the pulleys have different stampings numbers are not the same and too deep stamped too hard. the concours judges should be able to recognize repop parts and deduct points for them.

you want to see capitolism where are the billions that dissapeared on the tarmac runway in iraq thats capitolism.

just like every store out ther they want to charge as much as they can so they price items the same at each different store and the dumb consumer just goes along with it.

we are headed backwards this would of never happened generations ago. it's just that we have lost morals.

Congrats on your ability on selling your parts fast.
As far as your rant against b-man, why would it matter to you? What he does in his personal life and how he stores what he has to offer effect YOU in any way? If he does by chance have to pay extra for what ever, SO WHAT? How does this effect YOU? Do you have the stones to say these things to his face? If you can't say it to someone's face, it doesn't need to be said(typed) on here....You need a life, hobby or something... Like it has been said before... LET IT GO.....

i'll talk to him in person at the gtoaa nationals here in colorado and voice my opinion with the gtoaa and their standards of judging concours cars. i'll be there see you all there. don't even go there with balls. also your all old people that will be gone long before i'm gone so enjoy your mark ups on parts. wow all these senior members and cheif ponti-yackers. all the same. mark up your parts all you want it's just hurting the industry thats why these cars don't get restored because the parts mark up, and the value of a regular gto is not worth paying to restore thats why only ram air and judges and rare cars get restored.

and then what happens if you have a stroke or heart attack and die and have all the parts just laying around who is going to sell the parts your kids it's assanine just ripping people off just to make a buck. people even barry engine blocks in their back yards.


it's called artifical inflation not capitolism.

i'll be glad to talk to you Nicks67GTO see you at the nationals in loveland colorado i want all of you to come to our great state. and see for yourselves.

It is capitalism unless hes deleting your stuff to sell his own, in which case that's some totalitarian ****.

If you don't like his prices, don't buy his stuff. I have a 67' GTO California 360 HO car, numbers matching, blah blah blah. All that original stuff is out and i'm going aftermarket on just about everything because its stupid how expensive it is to restore to original. I'm not even going to bother. I don't care about original.

If that's true, I agree its BS, but why would B-man do that to just one person?

Sorry man, unless you're going to be getting into Iowa or Minnesota for Carcraft summer nats, we wont be having a face to face conversation. Colorado is a good 14 hour haul for me.
