or wait long enough. You have to be there when something you want comes in, they won't set it aside for you to get later.

On one score off of an 83 Monte, I got a 3 mos old Holley 600, headers, 2 sport mirrors, a pair of perfect med blue door panels (matty has them, they are for sale), 2 sport mirrors, 3 switches out of the dash, perfect bottles for washer fluid and overflow, and a pair of CHERRY plastic front inner fender panels, .....all for $10.95!!

Another day I got (this all had 6300 miles on them, receipt was in the dash) both reman heads (1.74/1.50 valves), 1970 quadrajet intake, w/ a quadrajet on it that still has the reman tag stuck to it, and an HEI freshly remanned. Paid a lot for all that cause the heads/intake are so heavy.....$22.50 !! I woulda got the reman 350 short block too (same 6300 miles on it), but I didn't have a way to get it out of the C-10 it was in, or a way to get it home if I did.

I love this place!

the composites(87-90 caprice headlights)are "doable" as ohiohoss's grill does not interfere with the headlight bezels which are nessasary for part of the installation process of the composites. I have a couple modded/fabbed header panels with caprice headlights that I sell for 275.00 shipped. Pm me if interested.

I have a fifty mercury that is sitting in my garage next to my el camino, I made a grille for it using stainless tubing. It took two tries and about six weeks.... I can't figure out how to post pictures from my iPhoto.
