well, I can't say anything good so far............
I ordered a gear for my speedo and I told bruce I needed one for an electric speedo firebird 1989 specifically with 3.70 gears. I told him it used to be orange and was 21 teeth.. and sould have came on the 85-86 firebirds with 3.70 gears and a few other through out the years.
he said yes he has one and says it is a very hard to find part bla bla and it was goining to cost 25.00 and then 10.00 shipping
I was going to make my own but, I figured I had the money in paypal so why not get the right part and be done with it
so I order the gear with the 10.00 shipping and again I make sure he knows it needs to be a for the 1989 firebird with electric speedo and the tooth count needed by putting this info in the note box, 35.00 and over a week later I get the box from ups and guess what is inside......
a red cable speedo gear..... not only is this gear very very easy to find and still made even by gm but, it looks like the ones I have are in better shape than this one (which looks like it is brittle and sat in the sun for half it's life)
so I contact bruce send him a picture of his gear and my electric speedo gear and nicely explain he sent the wrong gear. now he says I need to send his gear and my gear back so he can match one up what the heck for 35.00 I should have gotten the right part the first time and now I need to ship this part back at my cost and I am sure wait well over a week again and hope he does not loose my gear 22 tooth at the same time.

everyone makes mistakes. At least they gave you your money back.
I ordered a dual fan set up from them and they forgot the wiring harness
I called up and spoke to nick and he shipped it to me and I got it 3 days later...
