Working on a '67 GTO convertible right now.

Not my favorite show but a Pontiac is a Pontiac.

They always do. OPG's parts are generally crap and they cost about twice as much as any other resto parts retailer.

Yep, Ken is 100% correct. I get a catalog every year from OPG just to compare prices with the other catalogs. OPG is the worst for crap parts and prices.

Year One is just as bad for prices, and I've never bought anything from them because of their prices, plus you have to "buy" their catalog. No thanks. I've only had one catalog from them and that was only because of a car show that gave everyone a coupon for a freebie. Year One must have been hard up for sales that year. LOL

I lost track how many times Year One went under or revamped. I only ever got 1 catalog too. Same way. Free at Carlisle. IMO OPG, Year One and Parts Place are nothing more than the JC Whitney of Pontiac parts. They'll sell anything, but don't expect it to be good.

National Parts Depot isn't too bad on prices. But yes, they went up a bit this year. Tho they do have parts that Ames doesn't have, so it's a win win in that department.
