Supplier List
Posted: 05 May 2009 18:12I am starting to put together a supplier list for Challenger/E-Body parts. The goal of this supplier list is twofold; to put in one place all of the different small companies out there that make one-off or hard to find parts(R/T Specialties, etc.), and to list the best prices for stuff from the big name companies (Year One, Paddock).
I got bagged by high prices more times than I care to remember when buying restoration parts, and there are items I've gone without, or reproduced myself, that I didn't even know were available until well after the fact. Just browsing through the message board over the past couple of years, I've come across a lot of specialty websites that I would have never found otherwise.
I'm not sure how I am going to format this information, but the idea is to have it all in a post on the message board, or maybe a downloadable excel file. It would be a list of suppliers and what they offer (for the small companies.) For big companies like Year One, I would only list items that were difficult to find or that very competitive prices. I have spent god knows how many hours googling different challenger parts and doing research to find the best quality and price, and I want to write as much of this information down, so it's less of a struggle for people on the board to buy a part when the time comes.
If you know of any small-time, reputable companies making E-body stuff, send me a message and I will add the information to the list. Also, any ideas on how to easily organize this information would be welcome! I should have a bare-bones list up in the next week or so.

I'm sure we'll all add, as time permits. 
I had actually looked at your list once, christer, but I forgot that it was more than just clubs...thanks for the tip!
