Hi All,
Been lurking for a while but have recently started what I hope to be the
final "home stretch"
run on finishing the restoration of my 1968 Ram Air 1 Firebird .... it's
only been off the road
for *18 years* and to 4 different body shops (the worst of which I later
found out was
using my EXTREMELY RARE AND ORIGINAL car as a "parts" car to get a crappy
damn base model 350 Camaro out of his workshop that the owner had been
hassling him
about for years).
Consequently I now need alot of parts to finish the job. Just wondering
what vendor the
list finds best? Year One? Paddock? Ames? Performance Years? I have to
get this stuff
to Australia so I was thinking of just going with one vendor for ease of
transport, and they are
going to get one hell of an order! Probably $5000 easy. I have finished
brakes and emergency
brake, have just ordered all wiring harnesses and need seats and
interior pieces ... on the
motor side of things
I need head bolts, alternator + brackets, power steering pump +
brackets, pushrods,
rockers + nuts, chrome rockers covers, ram air pans + air cleaner, fuel
lines, fan shroud ...
you get the idea.
I may yet run with some local vendors who are good friends and have done
right by me
in the past, but they each get their gear from different suppliers and I
was just wondering
from all of the experience on this list ... if there was a clear
preference for a good vendor.
thanks all
geoff
