Picked out the paint last night to try to match the QQ1 dark red poly. Should look good. been w/ body guy for 3-4 months. No rotis job as no $$$ and there was zero rust on the floorpans, trunk, frame. Rust was a little on fenders, the rear wheel wells, outer wheel housing and trunk drops. Had to push the trunk out and straighten from a rear hit and replace a door jamb from a side hit. First step was to have a Chevy dealer put it on a frame jig and measure. To our surprise it was within a few mms all around! All for $90... All patch panels are now done and it is in primer... I will follow up w/ more pics as I bought a buffer and did the trim resto myself...

Hello, I have been around long enough to know their bad rep. The woman on the phone is very difficult, like I should know to provide her with my middle initial every time i call?? To be honest, I don't care how nasty they are, as long as I get the part i need. I have used them as a last resort three separate times and tehy have had exactly what i needed and tehy shipped right away. Last Wed. afternoon I ordered a master cylinder and a power steering pressure hose, two things I couldn't obtain together from the places I tried. They were able to tell me that they were in stock and would be shipped that day! I received them w/ cheapest (ground) shipping option on Friday. Car was on the road Saturday! Everything fit perfect and was period correct. Maybe a little pricier, but i don't care. I grew up in a family business and am happy to support one. She actually reminds me of my grandfather, a very successful retailer and a very tough SOB... Until they give me the shaft, I will keep going back. Pete
