VanPelt Sales is growing
 

We're growing.......by one. My brother, Rick VanPelt, is joining us this Monday August 15th. Rick is a car guy through and through and is anxious to get started. His expertise was more into the 1960's to 80's Ford products, but he'll get the hang of the older flatties soon. Rick will start out in basic customer service, handling calls and simple order fulfillment, so if he takes your telephone call please be patient. We've added a second line here, but you'll still call the same basic phone number as always. Thank you everyone for making this small company grow by honoring us with your business! .............. Mac VanPelt

Welcome Rick!

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

Growing is a good thing, will definitely order something next week.

Now that I have been getting my 39 out for some miles here and there, as I smoothly shift through that 3 speed I'm glad I had "The In's and out's" there to guide me.:D Scott

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

Welcome to Rick and congratulations to Van Pelt Sales! A class act that will only get "Classier" ........ May your successes continue to multiply.....

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

VanPelts is the go-to place for so many Ford questions, support, parts, etc.

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

I'm just getting back into my project after an absence of a couple of years. Right now, I'm into a transmission and I'm delighted with the information Mac is providing through the website and his book. Planning on placing my first parts order on Monday and looking forward to an enjoyable experience.

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

Good on ya Mac. I've still got your sticker from my order with you a while back, I'm going to put it on my car soon. Best of luck with the growing business and say hi to Shelly.

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

Glad to hear it, I have only purchased a few books from you so far, as I don't have a flathead car yet, but service was excellent, and I was very happy with my purchase.

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

Hi Everyone. Just checking, but is there something above "Bosses Wife" because I'm not aware of it?

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

Somehow, I rather doubt that the addition of more help will make life easier for Shelly. She does agree with her Queen of Shipping title but she might abdicate that throne if the pile of orders gets taller than she is. Besides, if ANYTHING bad happens in our IT department, Rick and I will be useless bumps on logs until she straightens things out. So, it's very important to keep the shipping queen happy :)

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

Congrats! Glad to know you guys are doing well.:):cool:

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

Glad you are back. Missed your Avatar and Signature,

MAC is the best. GLAD he'll get good help from Rick

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

Shelly, Mac, and crew - all of this is good news of course and I along with many others are very happy for y'all. Although most of what I am building at the present time is not exactly in the "stock" arena, I do have a couple flatheads I am gearing up to put together at some point and I know who to call for what I will be needing!

All the best to you both ......

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

Just in time!!! Joblot is gone, and little Dearborn, C&G is still there but the knowledgeable first generation is gone, and we are left with a rabble that is more and more streetrod oriented, and of course Drake, well intentioned but always a bit off-kilter...
MVP actually knows his Fords, is generous with information (See his site!), and we know him online. This is absolutely great news.

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

Great News!!! I have always had the best when I deal with you. Also, the information on your web site is great and very helpful. Keep up the good work.
Shelly, you hang in there.

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

I also have to add my "congrats" to everyone at VanPelt Sales! I've spoken to Mac a number of times as I've rebuilt my '34 tranny and differential. During that time, Mac has always been extremely helpful, patient, and friendly. It's fantastic to see that his knowledge and demeanor are being rewarded.

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

Congrats, Mac! Good news indeed.

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

Good to see business is growing, but when I first started to read your post, I thought maybe Shelly was pregnant! Whew!!

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at that Cecil!

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

Same here!:D

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

You are a trip, Cecil! LMAO!

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

Whew! What a day......phones ringing off the hook. Rick listened in with me during morning calls, but we had to throw him onto some calls in the afternoon. He did great considering all he'll have to learn. Mopping our brows tonight and back at it tomorrow.

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

I've run a business, when it's slow it's bad and when it's not slow it's bad, LOL :D

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

If all suppliers would take some lessons from Mac, All of us would be Happier!!!!!!! Maybe you should start training others in customer service!!! You are the Man! Mac. Thanks Very Much from Montana

Re: VanPelt Sales is growing
 

It is great to see you Shelly and Mac have expanded your business and are doing well, I remember you Shelly from the old site which you used to run with vigor and one year you showed a photo of our 1932 -3W Ford plus a lot of other members cars on the yearly Ford Barn calendar which I have on display here in New Zealand. Did you ever come across any 1934 V8 roadsters which you were interested in at one time.
