I needed to order a replacement Wheel Vintiques steel wheel for my 68 utility. I was placed on backorder, then about 6 months later I get an email from Summit that the order was "cancelled". I called Summit to find that they automatically cancel an order not filled within (whatever timeframe). The sad part is, I had to re-place the order...........and now I'm back at the end of the line. I am still awaiting that rim... (coming up on 1 year)
Long story short if you want a BACKorder to stay "active" with Summit, be sure to tell them to set it active indefinitely.
Granted there may be cases where you don't want to do this, but since Wheel Vintiques (in my case) is the only supplier, it's my only choice.
Didn't mean to divert from the Camaro, ...but thought to hopefully save others the 'headache'.  |
Thanks, I like Cragar SS’s and always have, some folks not so much (you know, crazy people
). Going to the back of the line really sucks, too bad you can’t source an OE wheel locally. When we ordered the skinny Cragar’s they had to be paid for in advance. I remembered thinking they must need the funds for production costs and didn’t want anyone backing out. Since then, it seems to be more common as we’ve had several vendors require full payment upfront.

Thanks, they’d look great on the 40 also. I remember seeing a black 40 sedan at the track here years ago that had them, very sharp. Ha, “Some ding bat” was that you? I’m betting the 71 stops on a dime which is a very good thing. Besides, the wheels that you chose look great on your 2nd gen.
Downloaded this form years ago from a differential vendor (not sure who?) that came in handy for organizing our car's measurements and then calculations. With an actual set of wheels and tires that fit measured everything again to double, triple check, we are going to nail the differential width.
