Not sure, are they located around Spartanburg? There used to be a huge F-body only salvage yard there which was great to deal with but it's been years since we dealt with them.

I am not familiar with the area. So I am not sure. They are located in York South Carolina.

Thank you,

BEWARE:

Well it appears after many attempts to get Joe at F-BODY BARN to make good on his promises and do what he said he would do that I have failed. So I will warn everyone to please BE CAREFULL when dealing with this company. It began on 6/20/03 by answering an ad for 91' - 92' GTA Parts for sale. I was requesting a Door Ground Effect Piece in Black with good paint. I was contacted by Joe Vancamp VIA telephone saying that he had one in Excellent Condition and the paint was perfect (ready to install) and the price was $40.00 shipped. He said as soon as he received the Money Order we would ship it out right away. He received the Money Order on 6/26/03. I was told numereous times that it had been shipped only to find out after many excusses and requests for tracking numbers that it had not. I was called on 7/16/03 and told by Joe that he was having employee problems which was why it was not shipped and that he did not have one as stated in perfect condition and that he had one that was slightly scratched and he would send it out Overnight plus a refund in the form of U.S Postal Money Order for $40.00 due to the long wait and not having what was promised. It was finally shipped on 7/17/03 and received on 7/25/03. What I received was a Ground Effect that had a badly rusted bracket and was Rough Sanded (badly scratched) and painted with a black semi gloss spray can and wraped in bubble pack while still being wet. I have so far spent $50.00 to have it professionally striped, sanded and preped for paint. After many requests I have yet to receive the Refund as promised. So again BEWARE of:

UPDATE:
On 8/29/03 I received the Complete Refund Money Order as promised by Joe. So Joe is a man of his word and did what he said he would do. I believe this was just a combination of bad breaks for Joe and he did make it right. So for making it right I say Thank you.

Thank you again,
Thomas R. ***
