To all you forward lookers who know about Gary Goers.
I have been doing business with his for over 5 yearsnow---through 3 car restorations -- and I have nothing but praise for the quality of his parts and his response to my orders.I usuallt send him an E-mail and then follow that up with a copy of the e-mail and a check I send to his address in Montana.
He has got to be awfully busy lining up suppliers, filling orders and running that business. He is the only one that I know of that can furnish the stuff he does. There is no one else out there period. I have a cataloge from STEEL RUBBER PRODUCTS and there is not one item in that whole 527 page cataloge for a 57-59 Forward Look car. So Gary is it!!!!
I think he does a heck of a job under trying circumstances. I would rather have him developing more needed soft products like his new flocked roof rail weather seals for our hard tops,(which by the way are GREAT!), than spending time on the phone or his computer answering my questions, confirming receipt of my orders and/or taking my calls.
He may not be a fast as some would like sometimes, but maybe if we plan ahead better, we would have the things we order from him in a timely manner.---when we need then.

I pm'ed Roger Van Hoy, yesterday, but, I'll say it publicly, now, and
this is only from my past
post-1983 experience from knowing Gary and ordering beaucoup parts for
my car, since then, from him, AND as being a sole proprietor, myself:
Gary, for the past few years has had one employee/assistant.
It's not Gary's 'fault' that no one else reproduces as many essential
'soft' parts, for our cars, as he does.
Despite public-outcry, Gary apparently insists on having a private life;
he DID get married a few years ago (you might recall the uproar over his
having absented himself from "our" business, while he enjoyed his
honeymoon ).
Gary's business model, for the past decade, or 2, has been to receive a
fax-order (the receipt of which he might not have acknowledged; hey, I'm
only describing, not defending his business).
He also has been decried for taking a "long" time to complete an order,
but, to my knowledge, no one has ever claimed to have been defrauded by
him.
Altho I've never made a multi-$ k oder from him, I have received my
orders along WITH an invoice--you better BELIEVE that the bill gets
paid, quickly.
Some people have become upset because they have included their payment,
with their order. This complaint I can understand.
I have received sub-standard quality molded-rubber pieces from him
(notably a driver's foot-pad, and also a brake pedal .)
Gary has either refunded my money, or given me return-credit , when I
have been dissatisfied with his products.
I am not a member (or fan!) of either 300-club, but Gary is, it's where
he got his "start", & he attends one or both of their 'meets', including
the Barrett Jackson meet, each JAN.
So, as you can read, I'm not Gary's PR Department, but I AM very happy
that his business exists, and realize that he just does not have TIME
to correspond, or 'chat' @-length, with his customers.
(Given, that there's only so-many work hours in a day, and that he's
"always" back-logged, I'd rather have Gary be attending to finishing MY
project, than talking with "you" , AND, I'm sure: vice-versa!!!! )
