Restoration Tip From Forum Members

I ordered a pair of stock valve covers online. I called a week later to find they were on backorder for 6 months. So, don't assume just because you can place an order and they charge your credit card that your order will be shipped anytime soon.

They cannot charge your credit card and hold your funds, legally. They can "allocate" the funds, but the hold expires after 14 days. If they do, call your credit card company and whine about it. Once they ship, or the same day prior to shipping, are they allowed to collect the funds. As a business operator, I've been bitten by this one in the past.

I have plenty of storage totes labeled with contents and small boxes and bags labeled within the totes. All my hardware is sorted by sizes as well.

I've taken to storing parts in totes using the schema in the parts book. 09 Engine, 13 Frame, 14 Fuel, 23 Body, etc.

My card was not actually debited but I called the company I placed the order with and they immediately issued a refund.

I like that idea - maybe for the next one
