No idea. I have ordered a good deal of parts from them and have always been more than happy. They also own Camaro central. I had a good friend (now deceased) that was one of their 'used parts' suppliers.

I don't have any complaints, I was just curious

I've met them all personally at different times.  For large things like sheet metal, I drive the 4.5 hour trip each way, rather than pay freight charges.  I actually just ordered some more stuff this morning.  They are here in Kentucky, but not close to me.

I have bought some big items from them as well. I opt for the show pickup. I have gotten stuff at carlisle a couple times, I picked up my pypes exhaust from them at the camaro nationals in PA about an hour from my house.

I’ve used them frequently over the years for various items. Actually just ordered an AC duct from them about 15 min ago.

A couple years ago I ordered a flywheel and about a year later discovered it appeared to be missing holes drilled for balancing. Called them and they checked their inventory. None were like mine so they replaced mine with no further questions. I thought that was pretty stand-up given the timeframe and that I’d installed/used it already. They are also quite helpful over the phone. Had to call another time but I forget why.

I will add that I have spoken on the phone with them on several occasions and they have always been more than helpful. As mentioned I have met some of the guys at different shows and again very decent people. One thing I like about them is that along with new repro stuff they also have a good offering of used parts.  I dont know how big of an operation they have but I like to think that they are still small enough that anyone that you talk to cares about the company and the service.
Plus I have never met anyone from KY that I did not like :grin:

If only you were at the Nats...  they are there every year, just waiting for Mr. Kerry to show up.  They said so  :lol:  I sometimes buy small stuff there from them.  I can't get any big items in the T/A.
