The catalog has a lot of info in it, but I wouldn't buy a damn thing from them. The prices are so high it isn't even funny.

Thanks a lot guys, I looked around the site, and you are right. I am impressed by the amount of stuff they have, but they are WAY expensive. It is a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to buy there.

I have bought some stuff from them. The prices a re a little high, but they have some discontinued GM parts, and they are new. So in my eyes they are worth it. Like that piece that cover the hinges inside. I havent found one in black that didnt have 1 or 2 of the holes broken. Got it from Next gen. And the Jamaica Yellow GTA badges. NO ONE HAS THESE AT ALL! Next Gen.

Its a good catalog for looking at the pretty pictures.. but they want like $80 more than summit for TES headers.. about $50 more for a cat-back... its all a total rip off.

Good catalog for restoration parts.

Bad catalog for performance parts.

Most resto parts can be had from the dealer for about the same price. And if you have a part number, you can contact Dal and he'll get it for you about 35% cheaper then dealer list price. Many of the parts are new GM parts repackaged. Classic industires does the same thing (except they leave the actuall GM part number stickers on the package).

Classic industries does a good job on resto
parts. (www.classicindustries.com). For both
Camaro/Firebird.. The prices are reasonable for things you may not find in a junkyard. Some stuff is kinda high but.. It happens.

They are cool too. Does anyone know of a company that deals in more mod parts rather than resto parts? I would like to find a catolog with mods that are specificly for 3rd gens. But I think I will have to keep dreaming on that one.
