Hey Guys,
I just recieved my order from Ken Young at Classic Car Connection. I believe he is chevynut57 on trifive.com.
Here's one of his auctions on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.ca/55-56-57-CHEVY-15...3A1%7C294%3A30

Just wanted to let all members know that Ken is a "stand up guy" & a great seller on ebay. I'm more than happy with my purchase & wouldn't hesitate to buy from his company again. He took the time to double check measurements to be sure I was getting the right parts for my 2dr wagon.
He packaged all the parts individually covered in a blue clear "showface" cover and bubble wrapped for their journey to Canada in a large tube. Shipping charges were very reasonable for such a large item (one of the pieces was the lower qrtr stripe).

If you need stainless for your car, look no further than Ken Young at Classic Car Connection.
I'm a very happy customer. Thanks again Ken!

Well Cole i am glad you are happy but i wasnt with him.
I bought a gasdoor and molding from ebay and the molding was perfect but the gasdoor wasnt there were about 8 dents in it and it shut be show quality
so i did a negative feedback on ebay, i was very angry, so he was mad about me because i didnt mail him about this.
I took some pictures and he admit it wasnt his best work and offerd $40 refund i accepted it because i already paid taxes.
But if you ship a part allover the world i think you better checked it twice.
So now i have a very nice molding and a shiny but dented gasdoor,so have to buy a new one.
Hans.

I'll put him on file, I'll be needing some trim.

chevman57 · 06-01-2009, 05:29 PM

Hans you aren`t the only one who has bad luck with him. I will never do business with him again. He`s the one that screwed up my vertical molding and then charged me for his screw up.

Perhaps the difference is, I ordered dent free driver quality.
I decided to polish them myself so the match the rest of my stainless.

Sorry you fellas had a poor experience.

rhendryx · 06-02-2009, 11:20 PM

I'll never use him again. I sent him a few pieces to straighten and polish. Some of them came back perfect. However, the 2 doglegs that fit behind the rear window came back warped from too much heat. As you know, these pieces are not reproduced and I spent a lot of time and money chasing down replacements and getting them done properly.

To make matters worse, I decided to turn the other cheek and use the guy again. The pieces he sent me the 2nd time were not up to the quality that he described. Deal with him at your own risk.

I have been very happy with the show quality work done for me by Jack Edison. 813-634-4795
