corvette catalog

[Jeff]

Man, look at that name!

What are the chances of that? For a guy who has restored Corvettes for a long time to be named 'long time Corvette restorer'? I always thought it was amazing that Lou Gehrig died from a disease with the same name as him but I think this has that beat. ;)

I accept the challenge......

and will call the good Doctor. I am not one to mince any words or cower away from a loudmouthed bully. I treat you as you treat me. This will be interesting.

Re: corvette catalogs and whiners

I have to agree with Joe and the others that Dr. Rebuild is an excellent source for parts, both in terms of quality and price. You have to follow his instructions exactly, but for an intelligent adult that SHOULDN'T be a problem. If you don't like him, don't buy from him, but I have spent the lion's share of my restoration dollars on parts from his catalog.

The REAL problem is that people these days expect all businesses that they deal with to operate in a manner that suits each and every customer perfectly. When the customer doesn't get his/her way, the customer attempts to tear down the business by badmouthing and whining as loudly as possible. Intelligent adults (there are those words again!) can quickly recognize these habitual whiners, discounting the whiner's overblown claims of foul play by the business in question. Unfortunately, it appears to me that there are a disproportionately high number of whiners participating the Corvette restoration/ownership hobby.

Dr Rebuild runs a tight ship, which is why he is able to offer the many products he has at what are usually the best prices in the business. Isn't it funny that enthusiasts who religiously follow the teachings of the almighty Judging Manual (sorry, Technical Information Manual and Judging Guide) can't handle a guy who asks them to fill out a simple form before calling to order?

Let's let this thread die (and the whining along with it!) Jeff P.S. This isn't NCRS bashing, just some observations....

Re: Fergie or Ferguson....

You know how to make a guy sweat it out, George. THOMAS BARR is what the grown-ups would call me when I was in trouble. Sort of like ol' Fergie Jenkins formerly of the Cubs. He was always "Fergie!", until one day a questionable substance was found near him. From then on it was always FERGUSON JENKINS. Anyhow, until you got around to it, I had to substitute some "Tommy-isms" for the "Georgie-isms". TBarr #24014

Re: I accept the challenge......

George, try to order an '81 CHROME air cleaner lid. That's what he went off on me for (saying they were not a stock item on an '81). Maybe I'm wrong, but every other parts supplier, including GM, says they came stock with CHROME air cleaner lids. Let us know how it goes!

Will do...

and will report
