My first choice for parts is C&G in California. Their delivery service is fantastic!! I just ordered a part on Monday morning and had it in my hands in Eastern PA Wednesday afternoon. Just the regular USPS shipping - I always choose lowest cost. However/Whatever they do it's great!!

X2. Very nice people to deal with and quick shipping.

Old Henry · 04-22-2016, 10:55 AM

Amen. They are my first choice also.

36tudordeluxe · 04-22-2016, 11:05 AM

Been using them since '95, never disappointed.

Darrell S · 04-22-2016, 11:05 AM

I also have had good experiences with C&G, their shipping is always quick. Also got a call from them wishing me a Merry Christmas and thanking me for doing business with them.

Over at this end of the country, I have been really pleased with Joe's Antique Auto Parts in Uxbridge, MA. They also send USPS, my first choice every time. In fact, I ordered a tailpipe for the 40 and all they had to do was put a mailing label on it, protect the two ends and ship it off. Cost was around $11.00. I'm not very far from them so one day delivery is the norm. Can't beat that.

C&G is good to deal with and their website is easy to order. I also get very quick shipping from Mac Vanpelt.

I also have been using C&G. Was in Ca. when I first started buying parts 17 years ago. Now in Ohio and still get outstanding service. Their reps are very knowledgable.

Ditto, Joe's Antique Auto Parts in Uxbridge,Ma
A pleasure to do business with, conscious of shipping costs. Packaging not bigger or heavier than they need to be, and then ship then ship best way. I have tried them all and Joe's , C&G, and Joblot are the best

Krylon32 · 04-22-2016, 09:26 PM

I always try to ship as much as possible USPS Priority. East and West coast from Nebraska usually 2 days. North and South for some reason takes 3-4 days?

37coop · 04-24-2016, 06:11 PM

Here over the pond its C&G for me also ,tried em all over the years and never had an issue with anything from them ,answer any and every question also....yup C&G for me.

29AVEE8 · 04-24-2016, 06:36 PM

I'M close so usually get stuff the next day.

Graeme / New Zealand · 04-24-2016, 11:53 PM

I found C&G by mistake 18yrs ago after dealing with Drake and Carpenter on a previous build (not that I'm bitching about them). With them being West Coast and me being in the Pacific it made sense to use them. I was impressed with the service first time and am still impressed today. They once sent me the wrong part that was actually labbled wrong! It was only a $8 US bit and they sent me the correct part straight away. They didn't "quibble" about wanting the wrong part returned, but I returned it at my cost and the shipping was probably more than the part was worth but I did it as a show of "goodwill" for all the great service I have had over the years. Kyle and his team are "magic" in my books.

After reading all the good things I decided to place a order on Monday here on the east coast of Va.
Wednesday at 10 am parts are here! I'm working on a 41 tonner and wondered who to buy from?
This is my 1st flathead. Thanks

Gumpy · 04-27-2016, 10:35 AM

C&G...good folks & shipping!

Being as how you are on the east coast you might want to consider Joe's Antique Auto as well. I think you will be as happy and might get the parts for less shipping and a day or so faster. JMO.

Joe's does cars '32 to '48 and trucks '32 to '47. My F-1 is a '48!!
