Default Buying from Fred Beans..

Just wanted to acknowledge Fred Beans. Great outfit. I ordered something recently and it had a few parts missing. Contacted Beans and in no time the parts were in the mail!!

Thank you all for the kind words, especially since we're going through some growing pains right now. All of that should be over very shortly.

Thanks for your support.
Gene.

I am ordering Z06 wheels from him and I will order much more soon (a lot of body parts). I have only heard great things about him. And I know I am getting quality parts not some POS PARTS that make you crash your car. My second Vette is almost totalled (I bought it with my best friend). I will explain the details of the accident pretty soon. I have to think how I will handle the situation because it was caused by a part bought from a Vendor on here.
Really think twice when you buy parts for such an expensive car, dont buy cheap chinese parts
