It's all about numbers. Fewer and fewer old ones, more and more new ones.

Yep, it's all about what years of cars are on the roads these days. The older they get, the fewer of them are on the road. That's why you don't see many accessories for Pierce Arrows anymore.

I have been working on this for a month and I can buy more C3 parts than I can for my 94. the LT1 cars are forgotten.

We are definetly inbetween O.E. manufacture and aftermarket on some things. It upsets me that there was so much bitter fighting on this forum in this section about a manifold last year that I'd be suprised if anybody made a part for our cars. We had people trying to make a part for a specific year and it was all blown out of proportion. I don't think I would want to put my company in jepardy for a group of ungreatful people.

How is pointing out misinformation spread by that one :banned: individual constitute a group of 'ungrateful people?' Passing bad advice, posting personal attacks through various user names, and unauthorized, unwanted speaking on behalf of a company who had yet to create the product did no favors for any. I don't disagree that it was massively blown out of proportion. He should have been banned as soon as he was identified since he already was serving time in ban camp from the previous year. Notice how much smoother things have gone since his return to :ban: camp?

Yes, it's on an even keel now. I think he's now gone for good as he indicated in a recent e-mail to me.

Well luckily I have not run into a part that I could not find, so hopefully it will continue down that path!
