Ordered a pair of doors in Dec 2012, they said they were 5 weeks behind. Nothing, nothing, nothing; I finally called in March, they said they were just starting on them. Again: nothing, nothing, nothing, they called in early May and said they were just about ready to ship. If I sent the balance due they would get them out to me. Nothing, nothing, nothing, I called again in June and get some lame excuse about a one man shop and death in the family and gets behind easily blah blah blah. I tried calling all day yesterday and they don't answer their phone. Anybody know of these people? I've used them in the past with good results. wtf!

Should have used the search option here. I asked before purchasing and didn't use them after all the comments I got on here.
One day I will have something cool here.

I have dealt them, these delivery issues have been discussed numerous times here on moparts. Really wish I knew what the real problem is, since they do make a unique selection of mopar items, but eventually it won't matter, since no one will buy from them, IMO.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Seems like after the kid's Father died about a year or 2 ago, so did any quality, timely deliveries, and customer service, and he's a one man show right now,... too bad as they offered some unique stuff over the years, I guess I got lucky and had no issues with them or the product, but the last time I ordered stuff was about 5 years ago, but all I've heard is nothing but complaints from people about WS lately

I purchased an a-body dash from them in 2007 and it was the biggest POS I have ever seen, I ended up cutting it up and only using a very small piece of it.

An A BODY WS dash ? ... I got one of those about 6 months ago off eBay. .... TWO pieces ..if you can believe that.
The TOP PART of the rear of the dash(the overhang of the foam) was a separate part . A stupid way to supply it to the final user ... but much EZier to make. ALL I am using it for is to make a plug(lots of work) ... then pull a mold of it.... and MY PART will be ONE PIECE .... and NOT full of bondo...

Yes, I hate to tell you but you will probably be unhappy when you actually get the part as well. If you do a search, you will see that many have had received poor products from WS

The last chassis I built for a costumer, he bought a glass front end for it... I needed it to check a few things(wheel placement)... I dont know where he got it but those parts were JUNK... the fenders came no where near fitting... one side was way short and the other overlapped the door by 1/2" or better... I had to have him bring back the steel fenders to make sure I hadnt screwed up... it was the glass JUNK.. sure wish I could remember what company it was

I don't remember what exactly you ordered, but the actual time to fabricate say a hood or fender from my experience, once the mold is completed ( that is a safe assumption here), is only a couple of hours, its usually a 4 step process, apply mold release, mix and apply gel coat, let cure, hand? lay up the FG, remove the part from mold, and trim. Now if you have 400? other parts in front of you, you hire help, and/or don't go racing, if the income is important to an owner in the future. He just needs some discipline, or something. I'll gladly buy some of his oddball molds for pennies on the dollar when he finally closes shop.
