Reliable Parts Suppliers

Can anyone give me good feedback on these parts suppliers

1) Fusick
2) The Parts Place
3) Supercars Unlimited
4) Inline Tube

I have dealt with Fusick and they are helpful and stuff is delivered next day usually. I have not dealt with others, but I have noticed that many parts from The Parts Place are much cheaper then Fusick and even some of the others. Is Fusick a rip-off or do you get what you pay for?

I have used both Fusick and The Parts Place. I was pleased with both of them and I did find Fusick to be a little more expensive,but I have purchased items from Fusick when they reduced the price on ebay. I have also used Tamraz, I got all of my sheet metal from them and so far I have not had a problem with any of the 3. I try to compare their prices before I buy. I have not used the other 2 you mentioned.

1)Fusicks...reliable and no problems with them.
2)The Parts Place...never again!!
3)Supercars Unlimited...just once but no problem
4)Inline Tube...brake lines and fuel lines (fit like originals) no problem.

If you are Canadian, stay far,far,far away from ultimate performance!!!!

Classic Olds has a distributor agreement with Fusick to where a lot of their reproduction parts are actually Fusick parts, so I'm satisfied they're high quality.

I got brake lines from Inline Tube for my green Starfire and no problems other than I opted for stainless and had a little trouble getting them to seal properly. If I had it to do over I'd have gotten OE steel.

Supercars Unlimited used to have a really good reputation in Oldsworld. Didn't know they were still around.

I like Fusick and buy from them frequently, but feel they are pricey on many of their items. Also it bugs me that if you order from them on credit card, they want you to charge at least $25 worth of parts (which I know is probably fair and not hard to do, but now and again I will want that special low priced part right away and find myself waiting).

Also instead of putting items on ebay for a lower price, it would be nice to see them place it on sale and let their regular customers know about it.

I don't know about the other part stores mentioned.
