type in ( metro parts company e-bay ) it will get you to what your looking for and as far as trying to get a hold of him good luck , but if you purchase an item from him on e-bay he appears real quick.

Metro makes the parts, have been for perhap 3 decades now, they had a big fire consume their shop and equipment about 2 yrs ago IIRC, slowly retooling their business back, they are a major player in the restoration business, regardless of how they perform "customer service".......never had any issuses with them or their products in perhaps last 20-25 yrs, just wish they'd repro more stuff , but they have a broad base of coverage for most models/years

mike



FWIW, they were established in 1989,...approx 22 yrs+ in business

Metro Parts is an awesome company. They make some really nice looking parts and you have to admire a group like them who invest that much cash in tooling for our cars. They are always set-up with a great display of trim items at the Mopar Nationals every year for as long as I can remember.

Have no fears when trading with Metro...

Sorry, I hate to raise this thread from the dead, but every time I do a search for this company this old thread pops up.

The website address for Metro Parts Company out of Ga is http://www.buymetroparts.com
The direct contact info is there as well.

Not all their parts are good. I've had 2 antenna connectors, where they go into the radio, fall apart. I fixed one and will have to return the other since it doesn't work.
Their hired help at the shows are idiots.

Real class act there.
Most of the hired help at the shows are family, helping out with the business. Most have other jobs and are lending a hand for the weekend.
