BAP or Tamraz
#3
I am still waiting for the $4 door lock ferrules I ordered from bap 3 years ago. I called 4 times then and they always said they are on the way. Poor pigeon must have got shot down and roasted...
Not sure about Tamraz but Fusick is good place. Legendary is my preferred upholstery provider. Another 100 or 200 but wait for a sale or free shipping. Best repro soft trim i have seen.

Grasshoppers must of caught up with them, hitched up their little plows to the collars and forced them into snail labor on their farms. Later they were prolly turned into escargot...

Legendary offers unassembled and pre-asembled door panels. I'd hate to fork out ~ $300 for unassembled panels only to do a hack job while incorporating the window sweeps, door lock ferrules, and trim myself. Is it difficult/simple to do the assembly yourself? Replies based on experience are most appreciated
. Thanks

Take a look at the last or next to last page of my "interior makeover" thread and see how I did it. Attaching the top rail is the hardest.
It might be better to pay some extra to get the assembled ones.

It take a bit of effort, but results will depend on your skillset.

Legendary bumped their prices up from last year (per my 2009 catalog). It will take about $380 (includes shipping) for pre-assembled front door panels.

I went all Legendary in mine, upholstery and door panels. Couldn't be more pleased with the quality and service. It will take a few weeks, mine took 7, to get them because they are made to order.
I opted for the assembled door panels, more money but they are right.
Covered the seats myself. Not hard, just takes time and patience.
Most of the resellers (Tamraz, Fusick, OPGI, etc) sell PUI stuff. I don't have any experience with PUI.

BAP - avoid at all costs
Tamraz - has a spotty reputation
Year One - shipping is too high
OPGI - worst customer service ever
Fusicks - A++++++++
Inline Tube - Lots of parts not found elsewhere
Parts Place - Good so far
Supercars - Good
Mondello - really bad
Dick Miller - first name says it all
OPP - no experience
Tamraz - has a spotty reputation

I have bought two lots of BAP, including an upholstery kit, with no problems at all and with very good service and pricing.
I have also used the Parts Place and they were very good also.

You must not had an issue with any of the parts you got from them, which is good.
They put on good arguments for every problem a customer has, much like the Monty Python "Dead parrot" skit.

The real acid test for any company is how they respond WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
I have been restoring cars since the early 1980's, and have purchased thousands of dollars in parts.
So, I have made multiple purchases from most of the suppliers.
Other folks that are good to deal with:
Brian Trick
Steve Minore
Paul Toller
Ken Reese
