Re: Best place to get your real vintage parts. DVAP
I sent in a parts request to DVAP about a month ago. They sent a message back that they would look and get back to me in a day or two. Never heard from them again. I bet it's Jason's fault, Ron wouldn't do that to me.

Glad to hear you are spending spring break in a junkyard instead of getting inebriated at some beach. You have your priorities in order.

Re: Best place to get your real vintage parts. DVAP
It's funny you mention them, as I've been having a hard time trying to find parts that are not reproduced. Being a big fan of the show, I figured I'd try to give them a call and see if I get lucky and they have what I'm looking for.

I thought about them but the show is obviously set up. I need this part oh here it is in the trunk. Way to coincidental for me to buy.

Re: Best place to get your real vintage parts. DVAP
Yeah, I like the show. It's VERY staged (OMG build it in 3 weeks!? Never happen!...3 weeks later...OF COURSE THEY'RE DONE!) and very cheesy, but you can't trust these thumb bangers to sell you parts unless you're right there in the store walking the lot yourself.

Re: Best place to get your real vintage parts. DVAP
Caught the episode with the GTO the other night. I know it's scripted but, the shop manager sounds like a whiner to me. Reminded me of Duane at Coddington's. Could be a great show, just a little over-scripted. Makes it cheesey....

Re: Best place to get your real vintage parts. DVAP
The owner at DVAP is the head of the Departmental of Disinformation. Did you see the episode about restoring the FORD pickup? Wrong info at every corner. Holy cow...who did this guy grease to get his own show?
The last episode really pushed the idea of selling parts to the public...it worked because people are talking about going. Doesn't Discovery research the technical aspects of what these guys are doing? Or is the whole idea to get some controversy and discussion going, and get $$ flowing? I wish Discovery and History would stop the avalanche of semi-reality-low-budget shows and get back to their original charter (my pet peeve)! But man, the yard looks really good! |
