I, too, have ordered product from several of the PI Projects and have found them to be of high quality and reasonably priced. I always check the chapter projects before ordering from any of the regular commercial vendors. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the vendors because without them parts for our cars would be scarce to unobtainable after all of these years and I appreciate the fact that many parts that the vendors offer are expensive to make in the relatively small quantities in comparison to the major marques (big three). I've been around a pretty good while and own a set of Hollander exchange manuals and have contacts at several of the local parts suppliers, often finding that many of the minor component used commonly on many marques can be had from the auto supply houses at much cheaper prices than the speciality vendors charge for them however - and again - there's overhead to be considered and the convenience of not having to search exchange manuals. I would, whilst in this vein of thought, like to especially commend Sandy Chirco at Tuscon Packard. His prices are competitive, I have never had a "wrong" part shipped to me from him and everything that I've purchased from Tucson Packard has been of the highest quality.
