I just got back from there and I gotta say, I wish I knew about him sooner. I was going to order a couple Lokar parts off ebay but he had the cable kit in stock for LESS and ordered the pedal assembly for next week and that was about the same but without shipping. Nice guy to work with and willing to take the time to help with my "wants". Most of his in-stock parts are geared for the street rod crowd but he can get anything you can order from Summet or Jegs too. If you know what you want ahead of time, give him a try. We talked about the Camaro Club, because I had my jacket on, and the Chevelle Club too since I was buying parts for the '66. He recently bought a low mileage Corvair convert and I asked him to bring it to the All Chevy show on the 25th. Next I'll hit him up to attend the Chevelle show in August. I ordered a black throttle pedal for $119 and I got a cable conversion for the throttle. 24" black with brackets for $52...

Yeah, you'd never know the store was tucked in there unless you were looking for it. I get the impression it's pretty much a "word of mouth" type of place... occasionally when I'm bored on Tuesdays I'll head over there and take an "extended" lunch break, and wander around and BS.
I got my shift linkage & arm (also Lokar) from him. He also stocks a lot of Dakota Digital stuff.
He is always set up in the grandstand for Back to the 50's every year as well. Wonder if he will be having any show specials going on?

Unless I missed him. Intrestingly, I didnt see him set up anywhere at the fairgrounds this weekend. He wasnt in his usual spot inside the grandstand.

his kid was all excited last year because it was there last year at back to 50's. so this year his kid was working for somebody else at back to 50's and i think it was national chevy.
