Not to beat it to death, but why, Oh why; If they could get the order billed correctly, could they not ship it? JOE BANKS AZTECH TOOL CO.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Restoration Parts (Best sources)
Darrell; If you stop by OPG again, they owe me money, maybe you'll have better luck getting it. I've had good luck with John Nasta, Old Car Network. His Prices are comparable and his shipping is very fair. I'm sure they're others on the Chevelle Team. Just my two cents.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Restoration Parts (Best sources)
My brother & I recently placed an order for 7 items from OPG. While the order was billed correctly, 4 items shipped were wrong, & 1 wasn't shipped at all. In addition, the shipping address was incorrect, & the stuff traveled all over Tucson for several days before it was located & delivered. When Bruce called OPG to report the mistakes, the sales rep on the telephone insisted it was his fault & OPG had no responsibility to correct THEIR mistakes! That was over 6 wks.

Darrell, Try Muscle Factory. http://musclefact.com They have very well priced complete kits. Door panels (un-assembled) are priced $125.00 a set, includes front and back. They also offer alot of thing I haven't seen elsewhere. Hope it helps.
