Hi folks.

I've read reviews of YO customer service and pricing. Seems like not many here appreciate the way they do things. Who would ya'll recommend as a supplier for a log list of parts needed when doing a full build?

Also, I'm looking at Hotchkis for rear springs - about 2" lower than stock. Anyone have experience with them?

There are guys on this board who have most if not all of the stuff YO does; I've had great service from Dante's to name one. For a list of suppliers/sponsors, scroll down the Home Page when you open this site.
If it's a restoration, you can get good info from the Resto section, and for drivetrain stuff, the Q&A and Race sections.
Ask away, some of us know '68 Roadrunners inside & out.

You are probably goind to need multiple suppliers, and expect some parts to be out of stock.

Start with Rockauto.com.. they have a lot of resto parts at very fair prices and there is usually a discount code..

I also recommend Mega parts, they are good people to deal with and have access to almost everything.

I've had really good experiences with Mike Ross at BE/A, Wayne Brewer at Brewer Performance, and Tony at Tony's Parts. Yearone is good too, if you can catch a 25-30% discount!

Thanks for the response guys. While I am a Mopar guy. We've only had chevys and fords come throught the shop.

Today was all about installing the front suspension, finishing it up tomorrow.

Now, how about the rear springs? I'm looking for 2" lower springs, Hotchkis says they only have 1" lower and Eaton is supposed to get back to me tomorrow.
