Yup, I've always enjoyed doing business with Dennis Carpenter, and all the people that work with him. If you ever get a chance, go visit his facility in Charlotte, NC, it is outstanding!

Another happy Carpenter customer. Since all three of you own F-1s thought I'd share this. The gang at Carpenter's have been working on F-1 stainless vent window frames for a couple years now. They say they are getting close to completion on the project but not quite there yet. Not sure if you guys would have a need for them but I sure do. So.....IF anyone else is interested in them maybe a few more inquires could help the project along. Self serving request I know but I'm about six months or less away from needing them and I'd hate to spend a bunch of time on my old ones just to have the new shinny ones be available. Thanks.

My wife and myself had a tour of the factory ,sales etc many years ago when we went to an early Ford V8 club event at Charlotte speedway ,what a professional outfit ,we were introduced to the staff individually ,one guy was pressing out tiny knobs by hand for the 1940 ash tray ,one by one ,thousands a day probably ,I,m sure its more automated now , we were shown the huge area storing the NOS items,an unbelievable amount of just about everything ,if you get the chance go there ,very impressive , we use Carpenter and C&G ,never had a problem from either . cheers Jim.
