classic door panels
« on: March 07, 2014 - 03:47:01 AM »
Anyone knows who is Classic Industries supplier for e-body inner door panels? I asked them but for "bla bla" reasons, they could not give me that info.

Black panels currently on discount.

72 Challenger, 440 stroker, 727 (70 clone)
70 Barracuda Gran Coupe
And on the side:
67 Pontiac GTO
63 Lincoln Continental

Companies try to hide who their suppliers are so you do not go direct to get your parts from them, they are in the industry to make money, so you can not blame them sometimes, but they need to realize that if we do not know who the original supplier is and it is questionable, then we will not shop at that location due to risk of getting crappy parts from supply vendors and companies that make inferior products. :wave:

Palco (assuming that Yellowfin is right) does not sell directly to the user, you have to go to one of their suppliers.

I have had no problems with Classic so i will not start any ranting about them. They have their sales polices and i have my buying policies so i will go elsewhere. 
But, i cannot help wondering: say that i walked into their shop and asked to see their door panels before buying. The answer would be "No"...

That would be the opportune way to buy any part, to visually look at it first. But like me, you and I are both bound by where we live in the world and to what is available on line. Metro panels are the best panels you can get new. Send Dave at Roseville Moparts an PM and ask him what the cost would be on a set of door panels and if he has them in stock and what your Cuda-Challenger discount would be on a set. He will look after you if he can. :2thumbs:

Yes, i will, thanks.
When it comes to parts availability, i must say that i envy our US friends. Changed steering box on my Challenger last weekend and i realized that i needed the 73-74 pitman arm.
Only option is to order a new one over the net. That is 1-2 weeks wait...
Luckily i could "steal" one from my Barracuda in order to get it going.
