I've had nothing but good service and parts from Rick's so that's pretty much where I buy most of my restoration type parts.

I use a local guy. He usually gets me better prices then the catalog, and I never have to pay shipping, or tax, . So check that out first.

Not sure why anyone uses Year One. On the parts I have ordered, I could always find it cheaper elsewhere then Year One.

What kind of car do you own. For my Chevelle I use Ground Up mostly, and for the Corvette I use Ecklers.

For my 69 Camaro I use Classic Industries.
So far for my girlfriends 67 Mustang I have been using National Parts Depot. The next time I order parts for my Camaro I am going to try NPD since it should at least save me money on shipping.

Restoration parts-Rick's First Generation. They just don't carry as many performance-related parts.
