    Logan, glad to see you have a direct thread for Q&A welcome A board from all of us. Just have a quick question do you still have available the cam gear oiler for a 455? If so, is it in stock?

    Thanks Logan. Appreciate your presence and support of this site.

    Any interest in reproducing the '68-72 non-consolette shift boot? At one time Year One made it but is long since discontinued & apparently that mold no longer available (idk why not). Admittedly a limited market but I've spoken to a lot of people who need one (I need 2) & if no company steps up, I'll wind up having them made as a last resort.

    Also, just my 2 cents regarding any reproduced part, I'd much rather pay more for a better/exact reproduction and see that part kill the value of NOS/nice used examples.

  9. This will be interesting. I stopped using CARS, LLC a decade ago because of poor customer support. It was so bad I use one of your wholesalers and gladly paid more to not deal with CARS. I'm interested to see if service is improved.

    I would like to think that we are able to help and provide good service. No company is perfect, and I know that there are always issues along the way. There was a brief instance where the company was owned by someone else, and that small time period did damage some of our relationships. For 50/51 years it has been owned by my Dad and me. I stand behind what we offer and do, and as sponsors of the GS Nationals and other Buick groups, we pride ourselves on giving back to the Buick community through our products, support, and donations. If you need anything specifically, please let me know.

    Logan, welcome aboard.
    This is JR White.
    Back in December of 2021 i bought your bucket seats (PUI) for my 70 GS Skylark.
    They came out great. Bought seat covers from Ledgendary.

    I'll attach a pic so you can see them.
    Is Kevin still working for you?
    Regards JR White

    I've bought quite a few items over the last 8 years and haven't had any issues with quality or customer service.

    That said, can you give me any update on the parts I sent you last year, posted above?

    Thanks!

    Hi Logan welcome, would you consider reproducing the plastic elbow that attaches to the bottom of the ram air cleaner?

    Hi Brett,

    Hoses are almost done. The wire retainer is about 2 months away, the other pieces are still in the "request" phase of manufacturing. Hopefully, things start to settle with the cost of materials so we can make some of this smaller stuff.

    Hi Ron,

    I will consider anything. For now, I can do some research to see the ability to make it.

    You have a vendor who does
    3D printing?
    That small elbow might be a good build. Vet

    Thanks!

    Looks like you might have some new bits to bring to BG this year, if that's the case.

    Good to hear!

    Vet, Is there someone who produces the elbows now?

    I really don't know. I only suggested to old buickparts.com, that if they can find a vendor that uses a 3D printer, this elbow could be made.

    I did a quick search online for elbows and found one maker, but it looks like elbows for Fords.
    You might want to call them.
