I think I'm a fairly wise person
because I'm smart enough to realise I'm not too bright.

I'm to the point now to order a major amount on parts.
I live in Holland (Europe) and I don't want to order all the stuff at one vendor, but spreading the risk over different vendors.
Now I like to know which of these vendors is the best or worst.
I have in mind Jim Carter, Filling Station, Golden State Parts, Parts of America, LMC Truck, B&W Antique Auto Parts Inc. and Brothers.
In total my order will be some $4000.
Can anyone help me with a choice of the 3 best vendors.

I can only recommend two on the list. Both the Filling Station and Jim Carter are first class suppliers. Little to no experience with the others.

Same here. I agree with Chippy Dippy's assessment.

I've had really good luck with Jim Carter and The Filling Station too. I've also had acceptable service from Bowtie Bits (Wichita, KS).

Thanx so far.
I know The Filling Station, I paid them a visit some 7 years ago and they made a good impression.
So that will be one of my major suppliers of parts.

I've also had excellent dealings with both Jim Carter and the Filling Station. Both are first-rate, long established vendors.
