All Must Watch This Video ---

Pretty wild,this man will go on for a long time......Why??? because he is always using his brain and not staring at a computer all day. Does he run the joint by himself???
Excellent post I`m going to copy his info..................on my computer..Time-Bomb John

 

WOW!! How cool is that!!
I went to his website. Looks like he has two people working for him, most likely family. Connie and John work in sales. Looks like John set up the website. Also, theres a link to see his current Ebay sales, so its obvious he does ship. Its also peace of mind to know theres two people there helping him that know the business who most likely will keep it running after he cant run it himself.
You can email him and send in a parts request. Theres a link called "tour the premises" where you can check out pics of all the goods!!!

Really cool! Ill be calling him shortly! Check out the site!

Who the heck is "Time Bomb John" ?

 

Great Thread! Thanks for posting the video. If I ever make it down that way I will have to stop and see him for sure.

 

I've bought so much from him it would blow your mind. He is about 2 miles from my old house in Arlington. Great place!

 

Stacy's a great guy. Don't try to rush him though. Go over or call when your not in a big ass hurry. He told us to bring the club guys over on Saturday morning some time, bring a lunch, and we could look through all his warehouses. Sat. is the slow day. I've been through the front one, spent about an hour at lunch one day, and was messed up the rest of the day!

 

Thanks for posting this!!!

I've been in the OE Parts shovlin business for over half my life... and I've the pleasure to work with many old timers much like him but none with near the collection of treasures he has... a-mazing!!!

Almost makes me want to move to Texas and become his understudy for twenty or thirty years.

The old timer where I work probably has 200-300 old car/truck radiators and they're all in his head as well... no lists, no tags, nuthin' but what's in his head.


(btw... the parts people aren't getting dumber... the industry just won't pay for the one's with brains anymore and most have moved along to greener pastures. Most days it's mind numbing work that goes largely unoticed and unappreciated by the general public... kinda' like a good barber or a good bartender.)

 

I think its all been said but what a guy.......wonder if he has a daughter that needs marrying off...................away to a rodders heart is through a parts store ....haha..

 

Okay, I just posted a question thread on where to get motor mounts for my 65 ford wagon 240 inline 6 since theyre N/A.
Right after I posted, I remembered this thread and Stacey.
I just called Stacey after hours thinking to leave a voice mail, but he answered. He said hed call me tomorrow when the computer was running cause they were closed, and took down the info of my part request.
He just called me back no more than 10 minutes later, said he went out to see if he had them, regardless of the computer not on, and he has them! $25.00 each. I didnt even have to think about it. Could of been $50 each knowing the money was going to him and that theyre NOS parts.
Hes so cool to talk to! I felt as if I was talking to a celebrity or something. As youre giving him your address #, CC# or phone #, he constantly says "fine" Thanks Stacey!!!<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Thanks for all the comments. I have not finished reading them all yet, but thought I would answer a few. No, we did not know this message board existed before now. It was the business next to us that burned a few years ago, so we didn't lose anything. We ship worldwide, but if you are in the area, you are welcome to come and look around. You are welcome to wander all you like (we are in Texas and have no a/c, so be prepared for the heat).
I see that a couple of people posted contact info, but here it is again.

Thank you for posting and Welcome!

 

What a cool cat>>>>.

 

This is unbelievable! Welcome, I mean you are VERY welcome here. A real honest to goodness parts store! Didn't know any still existed...

 

Thanks for joining and posting. Hopefully, you'll be noticing an increase in orders from the HAMB community.

 

I noticed in your post that you have a web adress. I'll get on my trustee computer and look you up>>>>.

 

Do any of you know if he has any sheet metal parts? I'm looking for 68 Galaxie Convertible and 64 Falcon convertible sheet metal in particular.

 

I have to tell you.
I went thru each and every post on this thread, and when I read Mr. Browns...it brought tears to my eyes.
I think I can speak for everyone, when I say that Mr. Brown and everyone at Antique Auto Supply, has our utmost respect for what they have done to advance the old car hobby. Frank

 

I don’t know if ya’ll let ‘girls’ in the clubhouse, so I won’t stay long.
I am Stacy’s daughter and I just want to thank you for all the comments and support for my Dad and his passion. I have laughed and cried reading these comments. The drive he has for his business is immeasurable and you guys have confirmed why he does this. I feel our family just got bigger! Thanks again!

 

Wow.... Mr. Brown thank you so much for posting....its truly an honor to have you on here and I know I will be giving you a call for some parts.

 

After watching the video, I smoked the telephone line to this guy. He says the phone is ringing off the wall. You MUST have part number for whatever it is you are looking for...he does not have the time to go into the back office to look up a part number for you. He was very cordial.
Thanks for posting the video.

Welcome to the board Stacy & family! I'll be giving you some business real soon!

 

What a treasure find, should provide parts that other wise some of us would not have known existed. Hats off to the guy living many more years doing what he loves like we love old cars. From the clip seems like a really decent guy.
