Agreed. John Kryta and Inline Tube I would never deal with. They produce stuff claiming originality, NOS, etc. that is not correct. This decal is just one of many errors you will find with Inline Tube. Inline Tube use to be on here as Motor City Muscle Car and start arguments with many of us concerning what was correct and putting down people he disagreed with. My issues with them were calling parts NOS when they were cheap Chinese repros. Ames Performance are the people to deal with. Honest, knowledgeable and good folks!!!

Inline banned me from buying their parts on ebay because I called them out on advertising parts as NOS that were clearly reproduction. I really didn't understand their logic, people willing to pay high dollars for NOS parts certainly know the difference, people that don't know the difference probably don't care .. so what's the point of lying.
However, they do reproduce many things that others don't ... in fact many parts sold by Ames will come with an Inline label on them.

Agreed with all. I bought a "close to oem as possible" glove box light for my 72. What a POS. The tiny little arms that hold it in the hole in the dash broke the first time I put it in. At least they refunded me my money. I was lucky and found a good used one...Thanks Scott!

So many people do not know or realize what NOS actually means.
You se repro parts advertised as NOS, you see used parts advertised as NOS. It actually pisses me off. If you don't know the nomenclature stay the he!! out of the business. Just my opinion.

I spoke with the in-line guys at Iola today. They do not bring pre sold parts with them to deliver, they do not have a catalog and have little inventory with them.
I guess that business model is working?

Just opened an Ames item last night with an Inline label. Small item, forget what it was now... probably the third thing I've gotten from them that has an Inline label under the Ames part number label.
Wouldn't surprise me at all, Inline as much as I don't like them, have had a lot of things manufactured that others haven't. I'm sure they wholesale them to other vendors. RA Jack .. that was exactly the situation that made me file a complaint with Ebay about them. For which they banned me from buying their ebay items for a couple of years.

Alot of their stuff is wrong, if you ever go to their booth at a show, they never bring what your looking for, tubs of parts, all thrown in. Crazy.
They must do exhaust? At their open house my buddy was dumpster diving exhaust tube cut off PCs in the dumpster. Lol One brother is a Pontiac guy, he’s got 2 orange GTO’s, one with the snot beat out of it, one over restored with stickers all over.

Inline has two twin brothers, one is into Olds and John Boy is the Pontiac guy. He claimed to have found an original 69 carousel red Judge and restored it then bragged on how correct it was. That car had way too much overspray and as someone mentioned, tags all over the place. Despite many of us with original cars stating his over restored Judge had issues, name calling began and it snowballed from there. That carousel red Judge was on You Tube which drew many negative comments and was eventually taken down. Inline sells a lot of stuff but I won't buy from them and many others I know will go elsewhere. Personal choice... |

They are pretty much my last choice option. Not so much because of their parts, which are mostly the same garbage everyone sells, but because of their sales practices, just don't think their attitude is good for the hobby.
Shame there is not a central hobby database with input from customers that give reviews on repop parts from various sources all in the same location. Good honest opinions from the average Joe. Gets hard to pin down, for most parts there MAY be two, maybe three actual manufactures of the parts, but a dozen different vendors selling each of those different manufacturer's products. Many of them falsely claiming that the parts are produced in house, are unique, are the "best out there" etc. when they are the exact same part the manufacturer is sending to a dozen different vendors.
