snyders automotive model a parts?????

anyone bought patch panels or the like from them?

hows the quality?


i need to buy a visor, windshield, etc etc etc...

and their prices are the best ive found

 

i bought a pair of door skins from them. the bead at the bottom was good i may get some other bits from them also

 

cool, they have all but one piece i need, and i emailed em to see if they carry that... it would be REAL cool to get everything from one place and save $ on shipping and all

 

I got some door panels that were good
lower cowl sides and a visor that need a lot of tweaking
im not real happy with the visor

I don't live far from Snyder's. Back in the '60s, my dad bought a bunch of parts, including patch panels for his '29 from them. He was very impressed with the quality of their re-pop stuff and he was PICKY! The Snyder family still owns the business, so I'd venture a guess that their parts are still of great quality.

thats not good to hear as the visor is one of the pieces i will be buying..

how bad was it?

 

I've used them several times, no problems with parts or service.

 

I have purchased mostly harware type stuff. Shipping is fast and the quality seems good.

 

My Dad has been using them for 30+ years. Great service and parts. I was just there last week getting some last minute parts for my thrash. Still family owned and they are involved in the hobby as well.....they also have a scratch and dent area in the show room....Good folks....

 

I've bought stuff from them since the late 1960's, if the quality of a repro part is less than perfect they will state so in the catalog, or you can ask when you phone in your order. They do sell Brookville bodies so my guess is that some of the replacement tin comes from them as well.

 

Bought some cowl sections from them recently - they had the curve in them. Think it says in the catalogue that they're a new pressing. Fairly honest too - the catalogue states if a panel is not so good, such as the 30/31 header panels?

 

the windshield frame they sell is good quality- but it does NOT match the original. It is a bit too short, by about 1/4", and the lower curve is slightly different. So, I had to have a custom shield made after I massacred the "replacement" one, that DOES match stock A's. i.e, I had to try and cut a 1/4" off the shield to get it to fit, didn't work so well.

 

That's where I go. I've never had a problem.

 

i will sell it to you if you need one thats how bad it is .
serious it will go on the wall and i will use the one i got with the car

you dont want it

 

Ive visted there and bought stuff for my car. They are straight with you on which parts are quality and which ones arent such as the ones made in Argentina. They only stock the stuff because its the only source for it. They gave me the whole tour of the place and have some very rare parts & engines
