I needed those frame repair "washers" that Pete Lohr (moderator of the Station Wagon forum)used in his write up on his site:

One Chevelle resto supplier (name deleted) sells them for $35 plus shipping. I used Pete's info and ordered them from McMasters Carr for $12. They charged me $4 shipping and I had them overnight.

Thanks Pete!

I needed 1 of those washers, so I was looking at the online catalog of one of those suppliers and they showed I could order just one for $2.55, so I did and when they showed up,SUPRISE! I recieved 14 of them (and charged for 14 too I didn't realize until later)So I called to bi@#h and they just said I could return ALL of them. to late. I put the rest on E-bay but guess there is not much demand.
