SOLD Vendor review- Classic Industries

[NJRR]

Since a trader score isn't allowed for vendors, I thought I would post a review. In my sourcing for parts for my 4 speed conversion, I examined Brewers, Passon and Classic Industries for parts I wanted new or couldn't find from private sellers.
All three had the parts I was looking for. Classic Industries was by far cheaper than the other two. Plus, on FBBO they posted a discount coupon and free shipping for New Years which I took advantage of. Over all, I probably saved 25-30% from them and shipping was very fast, parts were packed excellently. I was a little skeptical at first, with the price difference thinking maybe the quality would suffer, maybe import crap. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the 4 speed hump was an AMD unit. The clutch pedal rod looks fine. The only reservation I have is the bell crank I got from them. The welds on the pin connectors where the rods attach are not that neat. Balls of weld metal still attached, not ground smooth. I'm not sure if factory z-bars, oops sorry- bell cranks as I have been corrected already ,lol, are finished better or if Brewers or Passons are either. They look perfectly solid and functional, so not a major issue but worth mentioning. The other smaller parts looked fine too. Over all, I'm very satisfied with Classic.

Very good, I bought many gaskets and other parts to my '66 Charger with them, really good prices and fast shipping, I like!

I buy 4 speed parts from Jamie Passon. Price be damned.

I guess you're lucky that price is no object to you. I sourced all the parts I needed from Passon on his website. Would have run me almost $4k. It will cost me $2500 max, shopping around. Granted I spent a lot of time on it, but that was part of the fun too and part of the learning curve for me. Jamie Passon might be a great guy and I would love to have one of his new OD 833's, but I'm on a tight budget.
