Well, it must be one of those times that Ed is very busy. I've been trying to get him to get a shipping quote from him so I can pay him for SEVERAL parts for over 2 weeks! I've called twice and sent more emails than I want to remember. Maybe he will come thru shortly, as I need to get the parts in.

Bethel's
Ordered a rear seat speaker switch from them. Came with the harness (which I didn't expect) and was priced very well. Great parts at a great price.

When ever i need a small obscure part that I wouldnt know where to look for, I laways call Bethels. They always have it.
I sound like a radio commercial. And now back to our program. |

i've been dealing with Ed since about 1992....
one thing that hasn't been mentioned here yet is that the Goat farm isn't his only business, and most likely isn't his most successful of the 2 businesses anymore - his other business is called "Weatherstrip special", and is operated out of the same building. on most weekends he is on the road with the weatherstrip booth at car swap meets all over california, and is closed on mondays. he has all the top name weatherstripping, and the best prices around. surely the weatherstrip business allows him to keep the Goatfarm going since it is not easy for him to get good used GTO parts anymore. ....and one last plug for Ed - he is one of the most knowledgable people anywhere on the way GTOs were put together, and what they came with considering that he has taken literally hundreds of them apart. |

Well, I guess another phone call to him is in order. I phoned him last around
9-12 or so and he was going to figure me a total price plus shipping. This was a fairly big order. I've sent him three emails since then, an none have been answered. I can understand him being slow, but PLEASE answer my emails!

Jerry, I don't know how web savvy they are.......
I alway's call, and speak direct to him. Sometimes I need to, as I don't know what this little part(s) are called. Kris, at Cont. Converter were the same way, They have a web site for, I guess, to get their info out, But kinda old school guy's. Worth the effort though, both of them.

Well, I finally got Ed on the phone today, it seems he has been busy, etc. He is supposed to send out some of the parts to me tomorrow. He was very apologetic. Should have them by next week.

Ed's the Man
Ed is a very cool mild mannered guy, super hero like even. I stop by and B.S. with Ed from time to time, and when he's busy, when I wait I check out that wagon he's got. I was searching for a 67 A/C Plenum for years, one day Ed says, Gimme a few minutes... and walks in the back. He comes back with 2 broken Plenums good enough shape to make one good one. "I've been holding onto these for about 10 yrs now, if I haven't gotten around to putting them together by now I guess I never will, here you can have them" :D " Cool Ed, Thanks Man!"

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
