SOOOO I call another vendor to get the right bolts I need and hopefully the correct seal....3 of the bolts I need are on back order for 3 weeks. So now this lady tells me that either I can delete the bolts and place them on another order causing another 9.95 in shipping of 4 little bolts or I can hold up the rest of the order for at least 3 weeks....Of course this sounds crazy to me and again ask to speak with a supervisor and again after another 45 mins they decide to ship what they have and ship the rest when it comes in and charge only one shipping fee.

These folks make a killing off shipping and they are not looking out for the customers here...Ill be glad that this is the last stuff I have to order.....Ok Rant over.lol

Exciting how quickly Bryan is getting everything done. Going to look great and you won't have to worry about the rockers after you paint it.

Your right Andy...this is the rewarding part getting the metal work done.

In all honesty I think the places just have call centers and all use a central warehouse to sell stuff...…..I know Classic Parts and American Truck Parts uses the same warehouse.
