phils, I am glad you mentioned that about the car and truck shop. I have also heard that they are the one and the same as "Counterparts" which seems to be the supplier of most of the repro parts out there. I have heard this from folks that work in the parts business. I do know that these same parts folks whine about them because they sell at swap meets for the same prices that they sell wholesale to other vendors. They are at the Portland swap meet each year and the prices are cheap. They do not travel with a huge selection, but any thing I can buy from them I buy it at the swap meet. Eg the Counterparts AD chrome bumpers you see in catalogs at 120 to 140, they sell for 100 at the meets. I hear the other vendors grumbling at this practice.
