Mixed Make Suppliers Part II Mixed Make Suppliers Part II from Hemmings Motor News

February, 2008 - Jim O'Clair

We highlighted many advertisers in last month's installment of this column who are listed in the Mixed Make section of your latest copy of Hemmings Motor News. But if you have looked through this section in the past, you would see that we only scratched the surface of the hundreds of parts for sale ads listed. This month, we wanted to feature a few more of them. Some will come in handy if you are looking for a repair service, others will be useful if you are looking for NOS parts, and many used parts suppliers also advertise in the Mixed Make section.
Many suppliers of accessory items are listed in the Mixed Make section as well as in other parts for sale sections of Hemmings Motor News. Just about anything you could need to restore your convertible top is available from Convertible Specialists. In addition to the top itself, they can supply you with latches, top bows, rear window glass and stainless trim pieces. Hydro-E-Lectric offers convertible tops for most classic American cars, as well as newer models, including Cadillac Allante and Dodge Dakota pickups. They also have many original convertible top replacement parts, including weatherstripping. Convertible Service is another long-time Hemmings advertiser who offers convertible tops as well as side rails, electric motors and hydraulic pumps for original tops. Agape Auto Parts has fender skirts available for classic cars and street rods. They also supply over-the-windshield sun visors. Their fender skirts are all steel, and are available for all makes and models from the 1930s to the mid-1970s. Many engine parts specialists are also featured in this section of the magazine. Sterling Automotive Parts has replacement engine parts available from over 100 manufacturers. Performance engine parts can also be purchased at factory direct prices from Sterling. Terrill Machine has a wide range of replacement engine parts available, and they offer a fuel pump rebuilding service, too. Olsen's Gaskets can supply you with all of your gasket needs whether you are looking for just one gasket or a complete overhaul set. Copper and steel head gaskets as well as cork, paper and rubber component gaskets are all available. Remflex has premium exhaust manifold gaskets for stock manifolds or for aftermarket exhaust headers. Remflex gaskets are a full 1/8-inch graphite material and can withstand manifold temperatures up to 3,000 degrees. Martin Johnson has a huge inventory of exhaust system parts from both OE and aftermarket exhaust suppliers. Martin has over 800 original mufflers and 700 manifold pipes from General Motors, Walker, Merit and Maremont on hand, plus exhaust pipes for many 1930s through 1970s American cars. The Mixed Make section is also a good place to look for a source of fuel system parts. Classic Carburetors has many carburetor overhaul kits available and offers their own quality rebuilding service. All of their parts and rebuilding services have a one-year guarantee. BFIC Fuel Systems has been selling new and remanufactured carburetors since 1965. They also have many repair parts and rebuilding kits on hand, as well as the facilities to rebuild your original unit. John Wolf and Company specializes in fuel-tank sending-unit repair. They can rebuild almost any unit from cars produced after 1927, and offer a two-day turnaround service on many units they repair. Jack Marcheski repairs gas-tank sending units and can also upgrade your original unit. Cork floats can be replaced with brass and six-volt units can be converted to 12-volt. Jack can also replace low-level sensors on newer models. Many interior parts advertisers are also featured in this section and in some make/model specific sections of Hemming Motor News. Classic Motor Radios has many original radios available for American cars built after 1933. They have an inventory of over 1,500 radios in stock for many makes and models. Headliner Mart has replacement headliners for many cars and trucks from 1930 and up; however, they can also supply you with carpeting, vinyl tops and windlace for these same vehicles. Keleen Leathers offers hundreds of colors of interior leather goods for upholstery and interior applications for both U.S.-built and imported cars, as well. Spinneybeck can also supply you with interior leather. They have over 900 colors of fine Italian leather available in stock. Body parts suppliers are regularly featured in the Mixed Make section. Bumper Boyz offers a bumper re-chroming service and has many bumpers already refurbished available for shipping. They have an extensive show schedule and can be found at many events on the West Coast. Rocker King is another body parts supplier who specializes in rocker panels for many American cars. The king has many new-old-stock rocker panels available for 1940s, '50s and '60s cars, as well as door skins and sheetmetal repair panels for many fenders and quarter panels. Tower Paints is able to duplicate almost any original equipment color produced after 1930 and put it in an aerosol can. They can mix any PPG or DuPont formula. Automotive Paints Unlimited offers a custom mix system that can produce acrylic enamel exterior colors as well as the often difficult to find lacquer-based exterior finishes. Karr Rubber manufactures many rubber and weatherstripping items for classic cars. They can also produce many other custom-made pieces if you can provide a sample. With many projects, this is often very useful when a particular windshield seal or hardtop roof rail weatherstrip is no longer available. Steele Rubber is the recognized industry leader in premium restoration rubber parts. In addition to door seals, pedal pads and grommets, Steele has motor mounts, body mounts and bulk rubber weather-stripping products. Gene Sanson specializes in rims for many early cars. Gene has rims for all wheels between 18 and 26 inches, and offers antique car vacuum tanks, as well. If you are in need of any heating or cooling-related products, you will find some advertisers who can assist you in the section, too. Restoration Supply Company is your source for Evans coolant. This coolant is synthetic based and good for use in your classic or modern car or truck. Because it can withstand 375-degree temperatures, it is also great for muscle cars and racing applications. Classic Heaters is your source for heater core and defroster core refurbishing. They have many new cores in stock and can rebuild just about anything they don't have on hand. Joe Hudacek has been in the heater-valve rebuilding business for many years and has the expertise to repair most Ranco-type valves that were used in many makes and models from the early 1940s into the '60s. Electrical parts suppliers are also featured in this section of the magazine. Many of these names you will recognize from other sections of the magazine. Don Axelrod is an excellent source for headlamps and all headlamp parts for antique cars. Don has been in the business for many years, and headlamps are his only business. Old Car Lenses has many NOS and used headlamp lenses as well as pre-1939 taillamps and stoplamps. Some cowl light lenses are also available. Special Interest Autos offers many ignition tune-up items, as well as regulators, coils, switches, vacuum controls and generator brushes for classic cars and trucks. Jim Helm has a large inventory of NOS and used parking lamp and taillamp lenses that will fit most makes and models. Jim also manufactures some '50s Mercury specialty parts such as parking lamp lenses and taillamp reflectors. Yesteryear Antiques has thousands of electrical parts available. Overdrive solenoids and governors are a specialty, but they also keep hundreds of switches, flashers and tune-up parts on hand. Many used-parts advertisers are also featured in this section of the magazine. Vendors who offer project cars, and good used parts can sometimes be your only alternative when trying to locate a difficult part. Collector's Choice Auto Parts has used items for all major makes and models. Body parts in addition to electrical and mechanical items are all available from good Southern donor cars. Tom's Car Parts keeps many used 1965 and newer parts cars on hand for your hard-to-find used parts needs. Tom is a good source for full-size and mid-size models for body parts. Ray Ganser is another used parts supplier who specializes in 1927-'29 Essex car parts, but has many other pre-Thirties parts cars on hand, including Durant, Nash and Whippet. Easy Jack and Sons has over 35 acres of donor cars available at his facility in Kansas that range in vintage from the 1920s to the '70s. Classic Auto Parts has many 1940s to '70s cars they are currently parting out for body and mechanical inquiries. There are many other advertisers and suppliers listed in the Mixed make section of the magazine, and it would be impossible to include all of them in just tow short articles. We invite you to think about looking for parts and services for your next project in this section as well as in the numerous other parts for sale sections listed in your monthly copy of Hemmings Motor News.
