I finally remembered to add an EBAY stores link to our list of '57 Ford specific parts and services list. Only have one so far.
I also checked a website for a nos parts dealer in Denver that Rich K. talked about, but couldn't find a one '57 part so I didn't add it at this time.
Only One?
Pick it up dude, your slacking.
LOL
Slacking off....that's my normal mode.
Has anyone used this supplier? http://stores.ebay.com/Rubber-The-Right-Way-Classic-Auto/Ford-Car-Edsel-/_i.html?_fsub=2424626012&_sid=200881652&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
hiball, what got me on that site was nowhere is ''country of origin'' on their products can be found.

If you look at some of their products down in the bottom of each page it says it is USA MADE, thats one of the reason I was asking.
Example:
Ford / Mercury / Lincoln Trunk Seal - 18 feet long. Replaces original part #C3AZ-6243720-A. Top quality, USA MADE to original specifications.
Trying to figure out the best way for us to do this ebay list. I need some input from the members and James. I'm thinking maybe add them if they are recommended by a member, and have a reasonable size line of parts. Otherwise we're apt to have an endless list of people who occasionally have '57 stuff...I mean we can get those doing an ebay search.
This comment was not in reference to the mentioned Ebay store....he seems to have an established line of parts. I'm just asking in general how you guys think we should do it.
Rich
My 2 cents is that the approach your suggesting is absolutely perfect. List guys/sources that have a constant reliable parts source, not a guy that pops up selling a 57 door handle and yes the deal was handled perfectly but he may never have another 57 part ever again.

I wasn't recommending listing this seller in any way, just wondering if anyone had used them. Maybe I should have posted that in a different place, sorry.
No, Jim..nothing wrong with your posting and I understood what you were asking. That's exactly what I think we need to do with this ebay stuff....bring a specific seller up for discussion and the attention of the other members. I'm just reiterating the fact that these lists are "our's" not "mine". I only do it because it has to be done by one person for the editing/additions, etc.

OK, sometimes the gears grinding in my brain doesn't transfer well to my fingers on the keyboard. Maybe we could have some kind of sub category that we can post questions/feed back on a seller or item? This is another, few 57 parts but they are US made but I have no idea who they are and maybe someone else does that could provide some insight.

The sub category might not be a bad thing. I bought a rebuilt heater control from a guy I found on ebay, but it was a single listing. He sent me a business card which I shared http://57fordsforever.com/smf/index.php?topic=5472.15 reply 26. This might have gone away and the guy is a good resource.
Before I sold my Ranchero I bought several items from the Ebay seller Mostly Ford. Always fair and very accurate. 1954-58 Ford parts. If I remember correctly he is in Northern California.
