I was in denton tx. today looking for some parts for A project ,you know the usual chain stores.well I stopped buy an old timers store ,its not a chain.This man is ?75-80 he had what i was looking for and didn't have to look it up.then we started talking about all the old timers that are gone all of them car folks of some sort or another it was realy cool im 45 and I remember most of them from when I was a kid .Ill be buying what I can from him till he is gone too.to help support a old skool parts house instead of a chain,with a free history lesson!
I live in Dallas, dont hide your light under a bushel basket, where is the guy located and the name of the place?
Very well stated, and very true. Advance Auto Parts just built a store close to where I live, so I went in today and asked for a flasher with three posts. Might as well have been looking for a Kaiser supercharger. They never heard of such a thing! Hopped back in my beater and made the trip to town and the independent I normally deal with. Yep, they had it in stock. My dumb*** shoulda known better.
the old guy's name is Barney ,barnies auto east of the square in denton now dont expect to go buy a bunch of nos 32 trim or any thing like that ok.I was wondering if anyone else knew of a real parts man?
I like Denton, I like checking out new places to buy old parts and I like old guys with stories. I'll go check ole Barney out, thank you.
