oldford Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I think the treatment I received from a particular vendor should be noted. Last year I purchased a 4' section of running board rubber matting from Restorations Specialties (from PA) in the Chocolate Field South. It was over $12 per foot, but it was what I wanted. I got home last year and immediately started to trim it to fit and found that it was quite dry rotted and it ripped into two or three pieces. This year I went to that vendor and quietly told him of my experience and he looked shocked. I had forgotten to bring the torn piece with me, but without hesitation, he cut another 4' piece and gave it to me, no charge. I offered to give him something to cover his cost, since I felt anything could have happened beyond his control, but he said that he did not work this way and he was glad to give me another piece. This is one vendor I think all of us should patronize. Frank 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Very last day for me, Friday, I left the Green field about 3 pm, drove to Chocolate World, parked, and bought a bunch of chocolate. One of the advantages of towing a camper is that you can park right in front of the place, where buses park. After buying a bunch of sugar and cocoa (and seriously, why is it sometimes more expensive at the "company store", but my family expects a bag full...), asked security guard if I could hop over to Chocolate field and bring a poster to Mary Roth, he said sure. On the way back, I stopped at the Restoration Specialties tent, was helped immediately, and then bought 50 feet of half round 3/8 rubber which is used for door panels design. A VERY generous measure, quick service, I agree, nice people to work with!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollenway Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 These folks are excellent to deal with and are always accommodating when I visit their shop in Windber, Pa. Sadly Dave Sr. is no longer with us - but his family are carrying on the great tradition of service to the old car hobby. You are definitely correct - they run a first class operation !!!!!

Bhigdog Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Dave Sr. worked with me using my 56 Chrysler to prototype a rear window gasket. He sent 3 before getting it correct. No charge................Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
