G'day Geoff!!
Long time no hear.
My vendor of preference is Ames. They are Pontiac only and won't try
to push the wrong crapmaro stuff on you. Their prices are usually better also.
Take care!

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
