Like R-bo, I've been to Steele's myself to pickup stuff. Usually me and a friend combine our orders and take turns driving up.
They are pricey but as all of you mentioned it's quality. They are nice to deal with, at least in person. Last trip up I asked if they would consider a STOVEBOLT discount and was told to have stovebolt get in touch with the marketing guy. Nothing was ever worked out and as mentioned, they will not cut their price.
I do know, and was told by one of the employee's that Steele doesn't make all their own stuff.... BUT, they insure the quality.
I bought some stuff from Classic Parts while in Missouri at the Stovebolt Reunions and I did buy some wing vent rubber from them. I was OK with it.... and it fit much better than some from another vendor....but not as good as Steele.
