Just thought I'd drop a quick note about a nice visit this morning down in Motown. Dennis took great car of me down there (12 mile and Groesbeck), gave me a tour of the place, and 'bout guaranteed I'd be back.

The two building wearhouse has everything for the vette guy, including a couple c3's out front, a beautiful '70 convertible on the hoist and a recently restored '73 inside, a stack of frames and enough vintage tranny's and big blocks to make you drool.

Very nice guy. I'd highly recommend a trip. I know I'll be back.

Good to know. They seem to be about the only place where one can purchase authentic, fully functioning C3 front fenderwell vents (w/ baffles) instead of the fakes, but I do wish they'd re-vamp their website.

The selection seemed limitless... No idea about the site... I'll have to check it out.

All I can say is that the customer service was exceptional, and they're only about an hour away for me... Win Win

Yep Stroh, Been there a few times. I happened to leave alot of money there too. I bought all of my 69 fiberglass from Dennis. That way I was able to get around the hassle of shipping containers. He picked my stuff up with his trailer and I met him at the shop with mine. Dennis is a good guy. Gave me the tour as well.

Thanks for letting me know ahout this place. I must have passed it a million times on the way to visit my folks and never really took note because I had a Mustang.

Almost forgot about them.
They have been around since the early 70s.
Detroit area had lots of corvette startups back then.

Tracey has just about any part for Vettes, any year.
Have bought much stuff from Dennis.
If you need it in a hurry, this is the place.

Stopped in there today and Dennis was there. Yep, even on a Sunday. What a great place! Dennis took me around, and gave me some tips on the typical problems may run into on my car. He also took a quick look at my car, declaired it to be "not in bad shape". He told me to get a read end alignment or possibly a new spring. (Did some quick measurements when I got home and his advice was dead on.) Wish I would have known about them sooner.
