Does everyone have the same (bad) luck with vendors as me? In the last few weeks...
Vendor 1- I order a small part with 3 day express and get it in 11 days
Vendor 2- I order headers and tailpipes (second set) and the tailpipes don't fit
Vendor 3- I order 7 parts and 4 of 7 are missing or wrong.
Vendor 4- I email twice and phone once for info on crate shipping dimensions. Response? Zero
Maybe I'm no speak Inglish well?
Frustrated and Pissed off.

For what it is worth, I have been buying Pantera parts for over 30 years now. How would you like to get nothing for your money as has been the case with me before? Some of the vendors that I had a major problem with are now long gone from the Pantera business because I was not the only one that got nothing for their money except excuses.
None of these vendors are perfect, but some are much worse than others about getting orders incorrect. When you start to purchase custom parts for these cars, not every part is going to fit perfect because these cars are not identical. I found out what the meaning of hand built was and it is not that great.
I am waiting for some parts right now, but at least I was told it was going to be a while before they had them. I will deal with that issue and if it takes a few more days than I was told, then that will be ok for now since I don't have any reason to drive the car now. We are a captive customer base and that is the way it will always be.
