Has anyone ever ordered from Muscle Factory in Placentia, CA?? I'm looking for some rear deck chrome and they seem to be the best prices I can find..

In 2000 I ordered OEM style PS brackets for 66 sb. Fit and finish was good. I would order from them again.

I bought a dash bezel last year from them. I'd buy again from them too.

When you do call them up, do them a favor and let them know their website isn't working so well for you - maybe there is a problem that they are unaware of.

What is their URL (web site)? I tried "MuscleFactory.com" which I thought I used before, but it didn't work. Can some one please post the correct URL to thier site?
Thanks.

Muscle Factory has always done right by me.

I've used them for both my Chevelle and my El Camino and would certainly recommend them.Their prices usually are the lowest and they manufacture some of the parts others carry.Good guys to deal with...no BS.

The website address I have for them is www.musclefact.com but I just tried it and it didn't work.I know they moved awhile back.
Their phone # is (800) 762-0317 & (714) 635-2314

Let us know if the website has changed.

Over the last 5 years I have bought many items from Muscle Factory. I don't think the guys working the phones have ever actually worked on Chevelles. They are quite young. But they will always correct any problems that may arise from parts ordered. In that sense they are good business people. And, they are nice. They are strictly a parts warehouse.

On the other hand, the guys at True Connections who I have ordered many items from have got hands on experience on Chevelles and Camaros. They have a restoration shop at their site and have several cars in various phases of restoration. Whenever new items become available to the market they check 'fit', 'form', and 'function' test the items to make sure they work before they carry them for sale. There are many items they don't carry for sale that all the other aftermarket vendors will sell because they know are NOT good quality and will just be a 'return item' later down the line. They don't want the revolving door on items that don't meet the standards that we should all insist upon.

I would always rather talk to someone who has physically worked on a Chevelle, than someone who will check the computer to see what it says.

If you will accept sub-standard parts, or have the attitude 'that it's good enough', then by all means save a buck and go for the better price. Like they say "you get what you pay for".

Don't even consider those other guys that are always getting bashed that are also in the Southern California area. Too many problems to even mention. I will not mention names, but if you have been a long time member like many of the readers of this thread, you know whom I'm talking about. Enough said.

True Connections also carries good original used parts.

Paul, At least one of the young guys at Muscle Factory not only works on Chevelles, but races as well. If you ever go to Irwindale look out for the very ugly brown '72 wagon - it can seriously pull the front wheels when launching, and it is fast. Yup, that kid Mike "Jr." is a Muscle Factory employee.

Yes I have boxes of most of the reproduction exterior trim for my 64 from them. Quality looks good, but I haven't started trying to fit it yet. They have been first out with a lot of the pieces. Patrick
