I'm no Boy-Racer..... but if I can't take every on-ramp at TWICE the posted limit.... I'm a total failure!
Re: Father & Son Project - Questions!!!
I agree with you guys and I have referred to this "Mark" in much earlier posts. Hands down, with all of the help I have received from this post, Mark was there when ever I needed him. I am getting ready to install his header/exhaust system that I bought from him about a year ago and I lost the the directions. Shot him an email last Sunday night and the very next day he sent me an email with the instructions.maytag wrote:ditto. I don't get it either.

He has also helped me out with used parts. I think people would be pleasantly surprised if they gave Mark an opportunity!
May be they think he is just a specialty shop

Re: Father & Son Project - Questions!!!
Wait a minute guys. Be careful when you say "never". Mark does get mentioned as a supplier
(see post; http://www.fiatspider.com/f08/viewtopic ... get#p21626)
Just not often enough.

Re: Father & Son Project - Questions!!!
I'm guilty of this! Sorry Mark. I thought your business was mainly a repair facility with some specialty items, not a parts supplier. Am I wrong?

Didnt mean to throw a spark into the grass. And I didnt mean never, just most of the time. Just trying to point out something I think is overlooked ALOT. off topic Todays game is pointless, who cares who wins. the food and drink are all that matters today.

Don't worry about throwing a spark in the grass Rey, everything is too wet to burn anyway.

Re: Father & Son Project - Questions!!!
Hi, it's been a while but now starting to get into the restoration with my son. We have a question about parts suppliers. We know about Vicks and IAP, but what about Bruce's Parts Bin and The Parts Warehouse? Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks
Re: Father & Son Project - Questions!!!
I've used Bruce's, his warehouse is near me. He's fine, his catalogue is a little out of date but he answers emails quickly and efficiently. Fast shipper too.
Re: Father & Son Project - Questions!!!
I've also bought from Bruces and he was great. He had a fuel sending unit when every other supplier was out of them and I will use him again. As Tony said, fast shipper and good communication but he needs to find a good web site developer to re-do his website.

Thanks for the info. It looks like his prices are a little lower too!
