    For those that don't know:

    Gene Gregory was probably one of the first to offer Shaker Hood conversions, steel Shaker reproduction parts, Superbird nose assemblies, elastomeric bumpers, and more.

    Just wondering on members here that bought from him, met him, and seen his place.

    Is that the guy in IL?

    If so, I've been to his place.

    Talked to him on the phone several times while buying and returning rear window louvers. 
    From my experience I would recommend going elsewhere for louvers.

    I haven't seen his window louvers before. Are there other vendors for those as well?

    Why hasn't AMD, Goodmark, or Metro jumped in on the action on some of the things he makes?
    Competition is a good thing for the consumer point of view. Ask Dave Walden at ECS what he thinks.   :horse:

    Only thing I see the competitors of his making is the AMD Shaker hood.
    I think his price for the Shaker ring is  :screwy:  :2cents:

    What about: Elastomeric bumpers, Shaker base? 71 GTX upper front valence elastomeric brow.
    (Ever seen one?)...Super rare option.

    I wish someone else would do the bumpers as well. I'm all about quality, but dang those things are expensive.

    I've never been to his shop. But he has been to mine a few years ago. I had a couple of flat hoods he wanted to use for his shaker conversions. My hoods were worthless in his eyes (they were actually real nice) unlike his stuff that is golden. He isn't the friendliest guy I ever met. He has a take it or leave it attitude.  Personally I thought he was a jerk. Putting all that aside, his stuff is actually nice.
