I have dealt with Curt and Rick for a number of years, and they have
become like Old Friends. Call in the order, and I wind up talking about
Tiger Stuff, and getting more info than I had originally called for, in
the way of parts.
Our current McParts auto sources, with the McDonalds rejects behind the
counter, is no substitute for someone who knows these rare cars, can
answer the questions with knowledge, and has the rare parts generally
only available from them, at very reasonable prices.
The icing on the cake, is that they know who you are, and care about you
and your car.
It's a time warp, and a very nice one at that.
Thanks Curt and Rick.
