Good info... have seen their truck and trailer at a few swap meets around here, but never bought anything from them. BTW, any of you guys in this area been around long enough to remember when you had to order your speed parts from somewhere on the left coast? Or way down south? Or maybe some joint in Chicago....???
You talkin about when to make an order you spent 3 hrs. figuarin how much the Money Order had to be, and what Zone you was in, and how heavy was it going to be. Then if you had exact change, you could go to the Post Office ( From 7 to 8 AM, and 2:00 to 3:00 PM) and get the M.O. and a stamp and into the Mail Box your order would go, to be emptied promply at 6:00 the next morning. Then you wait, 4 to 18 weeks. Then one day you get home and there is a yellow slip with something scribbled on it. After close inspection, you determine there is a slash on "Could Not Deliver" and another on "Parcel Post" then on the lines on bottom it says "Postage Due $0.37. Up at dawn, skip breakfast, 4 below zero, car rides like it got square wheels, holding your breath cause it fogs up the windshield. Got there at 6:50, Pulled ear laps down, buckled my overshoes, pulled on my choppers and headed for the door. Krunch, Krunch,Krunch up to the door, Locked, I'm looking at them, looking at me, clock inside says 6:54. For 6 and half minutes they watch me doin the " Mille lacs two step" till 7:00. Slip, on the counter, along with a Quarter, Dime and 2 Pennys. Mr. Mailman looks at the slip, pushes it back toward me, snapping "Sign It", and disappears. After several minutes he returns with a surprisingly small parcel, which he slides across the counter, grabs up the slip and says "Next" all in instant. ******ed up the box, out the door, cleared the steps in a single leap, and landed on the polished ice at the bottom, feet toward the sky, sliding on my ****, I came to rest with a Parking meter pole in my crotch. On my feet and checking the area for witnesses, I headed back to the car with only a slight hitch in my Gidy-up. Back to the car, window frosted up on both sides, let it warm up. LET'S CHECK MY STUFF!!! Opened up the top of the box, and there right on top of a fuffy bed of shredded news-print was a brand new catalog. Wow!!! Under that was a packing slip which read as follows: Fuel Pump Backordered, Gasket Set Backorder, Rebuilt Waterpump Backordered, 3 ea. Pinstriping Decal Sheet Filled, 1 ea. Alum Club Plaque (Built to do 100 MPH in a 30 Mile Zone) Filled, 1 ea. Chrome Donkey with red flashing eyes. Filled Detach this Coupon for $1:00 off of your next order. Oh! Yea! I remember. buflochp
"ROTFLMAO!!" (Can we use contemporary computer slang on a traditional board?) Great stuff, even better 'cuz about every word rings true! At least you got the important stuff like the chrome donkey, the decals and the plaque. Fuel pump, gasket set and waterpump you could do without.... See? Isn't it great that we have places like Minnesota Hot Rod Hardware now?? Support your local speed shop.
