[67 Le Manz]

Hi everyone! Quick question for you all-where do you think is the best place to go for parts?  I had been using Ames Performance and was reasonably satisfied with them.  I especially liked the fact it was (originally, anyway) family started and owned and was relatively local as I live in Maine and Ames is in New Hampshire.  My 67 Le Mans was rebuilt using a shit ton of parts sourced through them, so i kept up the tradition when I purchased it and my other two Pontiacs.  I had a recent issue with an order and when I calle to rectify it, I was less than satisified with the customer service I received and am therefore looking for a new source.  Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! 

Thanks!

I'm sure you have checked out Original Parts Group,  National Parts Group, to name a few? I have ordered tons from all 3 with no problems.

I agree with everything JUSTA said. I have ordered from all of them. There is also YearOne out of Georgia.

I tend to order more from NPD simply because their Michigan facility is about an hour from my house. So if it is stocked at the Michigan facility I can simply go and get it.

Depending on the item, I order some engine/tranny/performance stuff from the likes of Summit Racing and Jegs too.

Also depending on what you are ordering, sometimes it is better to order directly from their source suppliers to avoid possible mark ups. Some examples are interior pieces from Legendary Auto Interiors, convertible top parts of Hydro-E-Lectric., weather stripping from Steele Rubber products or Soft Seal.
