Auto Metal Direct Warehouse Tour

I went to pick up some parts from my new local parts supplier today that I had ordered a while back and was told that his son sold my parts while he was in the hospital not knowing they were mine. He asked if I had time to go for a short ride to replace them and I agreed to go. About 20 minutes later we were at the largest warehouse Ive ever been in looking at sheet metal stacked on shelves from floor to ceiling as far as you could see.They also had several muscle cars and 1 -72 Chevy truck in the showroom which I was drooling over.I was told by their employees that this is the largest sheetmetal warehouse in the world and I believe it as its huge.If youre in the North Georgia area they will welcome you with a tour of the place.I was very impressed with the whole place and plan to go back when I can.

Re: Auto Metal Direct Warehouse Tour

Is there a name for this place or is it actually called "Auto Metal Direct"?
Perhaps we can view them online?

I've heard of the place before and even browsed their site a time or two. It looks nice.

Re: Auto Metal Direct Warehouse Tour

Thanks for posting the link Shannon and it is a really neat place to visit. I told them they should have a cruise in sometime .They do let car clubs get together there if anyone wanted to do that.So far only the local Mopar club has done so but I expect that to change as more folks find them.

One of the local "restoration" shops says he deals with them exclusively. Says that in his opinion they have the best fitting repair and replacement sheet metal. They also offer installation of some of their products. Worth it to check out the link sdailey provided above.
