    Hey All,
    I have been calling Evergreen for the last two months. He says "Maybe on the next truck" So I call back and he never has it. I'm giving up on him. Who else carries good sheetmetal within a reasonable drive of Seattle?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    EMC is PITIFUL about anything that isn't in stock. 'Maybe on the next truck' is their standard answer, and I got it myself like about 10 times in a row over a 2-month time line. If they don't have it, don't wait--find it somewhere else. You will likely need to order it in. Try OPGI or YearOne. The only reason I had to wait for them to get it was because I already got it from them but it was the wrong one. The one I was waiting for was the replacement and they were doing a straight swap from the wrong one to the right one, so no more money out of pocket for me.

    Found this part locally! Biscay Classic had it in stock. I had to drive about 45 minutes farther than Evergreen but it was worth it. Bob at Biscay spent 20 minutes advising me on prepping, fitting, and butt welding the quarter skin. That alone was worth not getting it mail order.

    That's awesome, we'll have to keep them in mind!
