Re: experience with Early Classic
Ordered from them several times. The last time was for a 4/6 drop kit.
One hour after placing the order online I got a call from ece with an updated info on my order. Didn't expect that. Parts are top quality, customer service is superb. Highly recommend them.

Re: experience with Early Classic
Yep,... I use to think "overnight" or "next day" shipping was high,... but I only ship the cheapest rate possible, and it's still crazy.
ECE has always got me the correct parts the first time. I really wish Stan or Mark would join the board,...

Re: experience with Early Classic
That's outstanding. Customer service like that will keep customers around for project after project.

Re: experience with Early Classic
Ah, my mistake, it was Mark. Not sure where I got Mike from.
I ordered trailing arms from there too, those things are terrific. A lot of great products.

Re: experience with Early Classic
I'm lucky that they're close (approx 100 miles). I've had stuff actually arrive the next day with the normal shipping rate. They're my first choice but we're lucky to have some others out there that are good too. Some focus more on suspension, sheetmetal etc...
A lot of our parts are heavy, I can't see them doing blanket "free or $7 shipping" deals. Last edited by Mondo; 11-30-2010 at 07:19 PM. |

Re: experience with Early Classic
I was a big fan up until I emailed them on three consecutive occasions with a question regarding a copperhead style tank, credit card ready to go, just wanted a question answered.
I'm having one built right now instead. Kind of a hassle for me. I know everyone drops the ball now and then but I hold a grudge when I've already spent a pile with a company and I get bad service.

I'm curious what kind of issues you had. Was there phone attempts made by either ECE or you? Was there never a response from ECE? Inadequate response? Just curious on the situation.

Re: experience with Early Classic
I Rec'd my headers 2 days after I ordered them. Some of these companys take 1 1/2 days to process the order. Very nice guys and I plan on buying more from them. I also think it's worth supporting the good guys when we can and stuff made in the USA. Even if it costs a little more!
BTW you can't compare a small business like this to a Summit or Speedway. As they probably ship more in one day than Early Classic ships in a year! Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: experience with Early Classic
I bought dropped spindles and front springs from them. I received the springs right away, but the spindles were backordered as they were waiting to get them from the foundry, and then finish machined. It took about a month and a half. Every time I called them, they were honest about what was going on, and everytime they offered me a set of Western brand spindles if I didn't want to wait. I'm glad I waited, as these were very nice pieces, and bolted on without one problem. I can't say that about most of the aftermarket and race pieces I have on my truck. Anyway, I think they are a bunch of top notch guys and would buy from them again in a heartbeat!

Re: experience with Early Classic
Flash surface rust on brake rotors is normal. Happens on all cars.

Re: experience with Early Classic
I live only 5 minutes from early classics and bought parts for my longhorn. They were really helpful every time I go there. Their prices are usually cheaper than other places.

Re: experience with Early Classic
I realize the rust occurs on all rotors but the interesting subject is the fact that that it is happening much faster on the ECE rotors in front than the Lincoln rotors in the rear. THis all points to the alloy in the steel, which leads me to believe that they may be softer.
