Is anyone from Megaparts a member here?

[kiwigtx]

Funny thing is.....usually when I say that I'm a member of "For B Bodies Only", I get a favourable response - I never say I'm a Staff member - that's just wrong as far as I'm concerned. Being associated with such a high-profile site in the Mopar world at least solicits a response which means they understand I'm not just messing them around.
But to have not received a reply to my email, especially when it was marked Important......I would have been happy if the reply was as simple as "Sorry man, no stock, and no idea when we'll get more".

Wow....finally got through on attempt #8.

No stock, no knowledge of the product, and no idea when it might come in.

Vans here I come.

Try here, they manufacture them.

From my experience, things have changed with Mega Parts. If you're "lucky" you get the younger, more pleasant dude.
Otherwise, you talk with someone who sounds like they give ZERO fucks. Carlisle was the topper for me.

Thanks....I'll call them tomorrow....I think they be closed now.

Open for about 10 more minutes if they are timely. (edit: never mind....thought you meant Mega.....)

I'm about 1/2 the distance @hunt2elk is. A couple other members are about 30min from them, but I can't very well "volunteer" them.....

I'm happy to assist if I can - need to make a run there relatively soon, too, but some of what I want is STILL back ordered :-(

Oh well, I'll see how long it takes for Vans to not give a rat's ***.

why would they give you a rat's *** when you are clearly looking for cat whiskers?

almost forgot......

Yeah, Jamie is the one running the show now, selling and purchasing. He has his hands full for certain. His Dad Roy is a good guy to talk to in person, but not so much on the phone at times. Jamie sells quite the volume of stuff and does get overwhelmed at times, very understandable imo.

I know this is probably a day late and dollar short but did you try Richard? (69Bfan)

Been awhile since I've had any dealings with Mancini but Wes (iirc) was pretty much the one that you were going to get on the phone and if things were busy, he was fairly short on the phone. Thing is, I always got what I was needing and in a very timely manner too. Don't think they carry any cats asses though.....

I reached out (not around) to Richard last year about this. It would be a custom order by the sounds of things.

I have sourced blank lengths of whiskers now, and the clips, so I hope to make it up myself, since no-none seems to be selling them already done - with solid backing. I can get rubber flexibles, but they are crap really, they get soft and move, then the glass grabs them and it's all downhill from there.

Jamie is a great guy. His dad Roy has been off work for months due to a medical issue They hired someone to help out There are doing the best they can to keep up. I live 15 minutes from them. They also won’t be doing many shows. If you get a chance stop in and see them.

I placed an order Sunday and it was here yesterday, with service like that I can understand why they are busy…

Not sure when Jamie sleeps. He generally emails back and forth to me just before midnight. Latest exchange was on SUNDAY night about a shifter boot I wanted to order for the '66. He was upright and honest that it would crack using the Inland shifter handle, due to it's larger diameter. He changed the listing to exclude '66, or Inland usage, while we were yakking. Doesn't get me what I need, but he could have just taken my 200 bucks...

Good people. Jamie is at the shop from 11-5. And he works until midnight or longer.
