Guest gunjeep444 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I shipped the bar above the grill to get re-plated. UPS broke it. So, I need another, any ideas of where to seek the part, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I presume you tried Wheatbelt Auto (Ken Reeves)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gunjeep444 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) The website for Wheatbelt is down and the phone # does not work, at least the one I found online. Okay, I looked it up online again, had been using Buick and not auto. Phone # did work, got an answering matching, so left a message. wheatbeltbuick@att.net 580-855-2449 Edited October 21, 2011 by gunjeep444 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gunjeep444 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I filed a claim with UPS. They are supposed to go inspect it. Guy at the plating firm said they generally disallow claims, unless it was packed at a UPS store. So I'm just trying to find a replacement.

JohnD1956 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 UPS going to make it right?How can they make it right? The piece is potmetal and practically unobtanium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gunjeep444 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Well, pay me the insurance, I struck out with Wheatbelt on finding the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhclark Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Yes, insurance is what I was referring to. Obviously the aren't going to find him a replacement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I didn't mean to sound abrasive and apologize if I did. I meant to say no amount of insurance is going to make it right if the bar cannot be found. Jerry, just remember the bar is the same one on the Super, no matter the body style.

Guest 56BuickSuper Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) Jerry,I may have a spare for you. Also I may be heading to Mount Rushmore from Texas in a week or so. Looks like I will be hitting 80W near Kearmey, anywhere near you?Dan Edited October 22, 2011 by 56BuickSuper (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gunjeep444 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 YES! I am 35 miles west from Kearney. I would sure like to get it from you, no shipping would be ideal, since I had a bad experience with that! I can meet you anywhere/anytime, I'm retired.thanks!!!!

Guest gunjeep444 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Jim, you are so right about this forum, been a lot of help to me. Dan may be here by this weekend, might get the part on before I put it into storage for the winter. IF it needs re-chroming I will drive it down!
