RE: IML: Re:Thoughts on the parts availability situation

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

Unfortunately, the Napa store in my neighborhood has an ignoramous behind the counter. I drive to the north end of town and patronize a store called Roosevelt Auto Parts. 

It just goes to show you that it isn't so much the chain or name of the store, as it is the skill of the guy behind the counter. He located all the brake parts for my '56, as well as my other cars, and even sent out my shoes to be relined. No questions no hassels, just a "one stop shop".
