Default Catalog

Just received another catalog from Mid America Motorworks, do you suppose they will understand I won't order from them again until my order from November 2007 arrives!!!!!!!

Their catalog does seem to be geared more towards C2 and newer cars with C1's just sort of thrown in because they have to.

If you want to really see an example of waste - order something really inexpensive from Jeg's, and then watch in amazement as thick, fully color catalogs start showing up at your door for the next year.

They have to be spending far more in catalogs, than what i spent with them for a holley secondary spring kit.

With all the comments I hear about Vendor Service it remains clear to me that LICS is the best Vendor around. Some Gripes about person to person conversations have existed but now that they are on line I can't see going anywhere else. Al W.

I've been having no problems w/ Zip's. I've ordered a ton of
front end and engine bay parts they usually arrive in 2 days.
They are very helpful and courtious on the phone.

Mid America must have plenty of extra cash around to produce those catalogs. I get so many, so quickly, I don't know which one is the most recent. Don't use them anymore since I sold the C3.

I've been very pleased with Zip also. I have purchased almost all my restoration parts from them, and with the exception of some interior screws, have been completely satisfied...and with their prices and shipping times.

But buy something from Eastwood and you'll get a lifetime supply of catalogs, arriving like clockwork each and every month. And if you move, they'll find you because of that Return Service Requested offering (or whatever it's called) thru the USPS, where they pay a blanket fee to receive forwarding addresses.

I have been using ZIP. Good products and prices. I really choose them because I feel that their website is the easiest to browse. Very easy to get to what you want to look at.
