I'm not going to give you the dignity of typing your name. Do a search,He got caught with his hand in the cookie Jar. Recieved a new switch & kept the other & was e-baying it.It was great on e-bay but a ticking time bomb for his car
He did return it after being caught. Threatened me via e-mail. Just another reason I want to go to BG :biggrin:
decarlo sloan I would go with your gut if you don't feel comfortable buying from us just don't. There are alot of things we can not control like suppliers espescially with BG coming up & alot of performance parts being bought up.
We have been around for a long time.We sell to all Gbody cars but specailze in Buicks. Most vendors here specialize in only Buicks.We are overwhelmed with orders but I still look at the loading dock every day & there are at least 30 packages a day leaving out of here. 50 is average & that is not 1 part but multiples. NEW & USED. I don't think too many vendors get orders for Race tronix injector harness Metco Fuel tank & a complete used posi rear in the same orders. We do.
Bruce You are my hero. I love a man who tells it like it is. People do not realize your running a business, trying to take care of customers,dealing with employees,etc, etc, etc..
Then there is your free time calling suppliers.
Then there is the above vacation time where your contacting manufacturers to make parts 50-100 at a time to keep 20 year old cars going. Lay out your $
to build crap to hear it is made in China. He is building over there for pennies & getting rich off it. Next post I'm bankrupt.
Like Bruce said same old people.
It does wear on you. There were a few times this year I was like f-this. I have 125 cars here Plenty of discontinued parts new in the box. Just come in & e-bay crap every 3 days or so & take a break. Get rid of my employees & be done. I have never felt like this since I have been in this business. I normally enjoy going to work.That is why I do this.

"Do not condem a guy or a business because of a few bad dealings. You know, (and I will be absolutly fried and probobly tar and feathered for this statement), but "SOMETIMES" the customer can be the pain in the a$$ as well. I am NOT saying this is the case in this instance, but sit for a day on phones with PTS XTREME, or Kirbans, or Gbody parts, or SE Turbo, or Precision Turbo, or any other vendor on this board. I would bet with in 1-2 days you would have a WHOLE new propective on what we as vendors deal with on a daily basis. Trust me, it is not fun. What really sucks , is you have to keep in mind, that we cannot just go to the wharehouse and pick up all the parts NOS or new from GM anymore, so in turn, we are relyling on our manufactures to be on time as well."
That is about as well said & every vendor here admitted or not would say the same thing. The worst thing I did is leave a 96K sq ft facility & on the advice of another vendor & drop ship to stream line. When you are that dependant on others you have problems. I love N.C. but what I miss is looking at 165 cars in doors & people's Jaws dropping when they toured the place of how much we actually had.
Fuelie600 Trey Crease from 0-60 stopped up one time & couldn't believe what we had. His second sentence after walking thru the office was I don't miss it at all!
