Hey Mark.... have you ever gotten glass from them? How is the fit? I saw
them at Back to the fifties and again this weekend at Car Craft and felt they
would be worth a shot because I could pickup stuff.

Glass & Gas Tanks
If you
mean Auto City Classics out of Isanti MN, I have used them. They are a
one hour drive from my work) I especially use them for things that are
large, because is the quality is not up to my liking I don't want to pay
return shipping. I go there and pick the stuff up if I like it.
You have to know what you want, and you probably get what you pay for.
I got goodmark metal inner fender wells from them. They were
nice. I would imagine that a GM one might have been a little thicker,
but these were not that bad. I also picked up my trunk floor from
them. The pieces were stamped ok, but again the metal might be a
little thinner than stock. Here the problem was these panels did not go up
and over the axle tunnel so I had a seam to hide. This is not
auto city classics fault really. Their price on the trunk floor was a
low as anybody else's.
While
this does not sound like a ringing endorsement, it is not intended to sound
negative either. I will use them again...because I can look at the
parts first because that is the way I am. I suspect a lot of these
parts come from the same manufacturer. Experience has taught me to be
leery about any part I get from any of the parts houses. I have gotten
stuff I did not like from all of them.
If you
call about a Chevelle, they will have you talk to Denny. He's a pretty
good guy in my experience.
They
don't spend big bucks on web sites or fancy color catalogs like Year
One. That might help keep the prices down.

I seen
a company called Auto City at the second show in a row now. They had an
impressive display of auto glass, gas tanks, and even disc brake
conversion kits.
While
they don't seem to have a web site yet, they do e-mail. Their prices
seemed to be outstanding, but wondering if anyone has any experience on
their quality?
