Would you guys buy from a PT,G-Machine vendor?

[Richz68]

Hello all...... I am about to become the "GM" for a small, established aftermarket parts supplier/website.

I have so many ideas floating around in my head to improve the existing business(primarily street rod & some muscle car parts) to take it to the next level.

One of my first ventures is to create a division that will cater to all of the guys who are building cars considered to be Pro-Touring Cars, G-Machines, Air Suspension Cruisers that all seem to becoming the "new norm" at higher end level builds.

I have already established a relationship with several of the vendors that supply the majority of the parts used on these types of cars. Our goal is to become the hands-down supplier for parts to builders of the cars featured in mags such as PHR within 2-3 years. The majority of these cars will certainly be built by members here & at Pro-Touring.com.

I guess I am looking for the a "Top Five" list from you all to describe the five things that you feel are lacking at the larger speed suppliers out there right now concerning our niche. These can be as trivial as you don't like the on-hold recordings to something as serious as parts knowledge, price, inventory, shipping response time, warranty, or even show/event presence, etc.

Please format you top five concerns in a 1-5 format if possible:


1. ___________
2. ___________
3. ___________
4. ___________
5. ___________


I hope to do business with you all in the future!
