As mentioned on another thread,I am putting together a GP for Global West products. With an initial order of $4K or more,I can offer a 20% discount through my business,H&H Custom. Not all GW part numbers will qualify for this discount (QA1 coilovers being one) but the majority of their products will. GW has agreed to drop-ship our orders directly to us which will save the extra expense and time of shipping the parts to me,,then being shipped again from here. Two questions I need to clarify with them,is the question of CA state tax being collected and will they drop-ship to us,freight collect. If you are seriously interested in getting onboard this GP,please go to GW's website,make a list of the part number(s)needed,and email it to me. I will then crosscheck your proposed order,subtract your 20% discount,and email the info back to you with further instructions. Payment will be via bank draft,Postal money order,or certified funds. Those are the safest form of payment for us both. Sorry,no credit cards or Paypal at this time. Hope to hear from you very soon.
Sincerely,

I talked to my sales rep at Global West this morning. Shipping costs have to be prepaid so I'll email your address to them for a shipping quote. That amount will be added to your total cost and the parts will be drop-shipped right to your door. Doing it that way will eliminate COD fees which can get expensive if the order is comprised of many boxes.
Email me any questions you might have to: chooper@sw.rr.com

Just reposting to this new thread so we can get a clean list going for Clint. I also e-mailed Clint directly, but it's nice to have a visual for the team members to see how many of us want in on this Group Purchase:

Lower Rear Control Arms: Part# TBC-4

Thanks Clint! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I'm in as well - upper and lower front control arms.

C'mon guys! Sign up!

Ryan

I'm in too for upper and lower front control arms.

--Brian

Thanks,guys. We just need a few more and we'll be able to order. I'm going for a full set of their tubular upper & lower A-arms with the QA1 coilover option.

Tall Spindle? About half of the members on this site say don't do it (?)

Uppers/Lowers with 2" dropped spindles?

S-10 Conversion (?) Use the spindles (Ball Joint Work), and some type of disc brake setup with uppers/lowers (?)

Having talked to several S-10 owners here in Las Vegas with V-8 Conversions, they state that they have all the stopping power you could ask for (We believe they have 10 1/2" Rotors (?)

graemlins/thumbsup.gif :confused: graemlins/beers.gif

I'm going with the standard spindles on my 69 Elky,Rich. Brakes will be Baer's 13" Track set-up with Eradispeed rotor option.

Hey Clint.

I'll send you an e-mail too, but I <finally> made up my mind.

CTA-82A
CTA-42H

Assuming the deal goes forward.

Anyone running an airbag suspension w/ GlobalWest coilover arms?

--Brian

Sounds good,Brian. Let's make it happen.
How many people will be ready to order next week?

ttt

I'm ready to place an order by Friday 5/23....PAYDAY! graemlins/hurray.gif

I'm ready to order,too. Anyone else?

Bump.

Why is there such low interest in this? Did everyone buy during the 10% sale, or what?

Just curious as this seems to be a great deal on the making, and there was a ton of interest before.

--Brian

Clint,

I'm in... would LIKE to use a credit card if possible.... Otherwise will make something work. I want the following items for my '65;

Upper Arms P/N: CTA-47A (Stock arm replacements)
Lower Arms P/N: CTA-42H (Coil over shocks) BOTH arms are to have the Del a lum bushings.... I'll source my own HAL coil overs....

Here is my zip info: 95667-8342 (I'm in Nor Cal) so will need tax added to the totals... :D

20% off is a good enuf deal for me~

Thanks,Bob. I think you just put us over the top.
I need all of you that are ready to order to email me with your part numbers and shipping address,,if you haven't done so already. Thanks.
chooper@sw.rr.com

I am interested in uppers & lowers for my 68 & rear lowers. Also, one of the 8" MC/Booster kits.
When will order be placed & how long till shipped. John

Are we ready to order today? graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Yep,I'm ready to start accepting orders. Have two on the way,now. I will deposit the checks when we reach the $5K gross figure.$5K-20%=$4K
GW's tubular a-arms are a frequent back-order item so my best guess is 4-6 weeks delivery,maybe quicker. Call GW for a better estimate.

John,email me the GW part numbers you want and your shipping address. Please note that it's possible some items might not qualify for the 20% discount;i.e. QA1 coilovers being one. I will have to call GW and ask about the 8" booster as there are others wanting to order this item,too.

Can you e-mail me payment info please?

I emailed my shipping address to you,Armando.
Thanks,

Clint, I just e-mailed you my information. I want in on the deal, but don't have all the part numbers nailed down yet. Please send me the address where you want payment mailed.

Ok,I just got off the phone with Global West. Those of you who have emailed me with part numbers and mailing address,I will email your total cost to you. On the question of sales tax for CA residents,there will not be any charged as technically,you are buying the products from me in TX. Only TX residents will pay sales tax.
Another subject to discuss is the length of the GP. Initially,GW told me my discount rates would be good for twelve months after I met the initial buy-in requirements. That is no longer the case. This GP will be a one timer and as such,will have an order deadline of June 9th.
Thank you for being patient.

ttt

Update: We have nine participants in the Global West GP at the present time and are closing in on the $10K mark for our order. Only ten more days are left to get in on the GP.

What happens if you don't reach the 10K mark?? Is the GP off then and no discount?

Of course not,Bob. We only had to have a $5K minimum order. If we get to $10K,I'm pretty sure I'll be able to give you guys another 5% to 10%off.

I'm in need of a complete front end, but I see above that LVMAXX indicates that a lot of you guys don't think the tall spindles are worth it?
What's up with that?
I don't mean to side track this thread, as I have another one going trying to help me decide what to buy.

Dennis DENNIS;

Our guess would be that the Tall Spindle Conversion is a 50-50 for/against issue on this site.

We honestly don't know which way to go as yet, and are reading and studying posts on this site, plus other reading materials on this subject.

If Global West is the way to go, then we only have a couple of days left on the 20 percent discount (?)

Where is your other post on this subject on this site?

That's correct,Richard. Any orders received after the June 9th deadline will be returned to sender.
Time is running out.

At the present time,I have confirmed orders from Mondo454,66ElkyBB,and Eric M. only. If your order is in the mail,please email me or post here.
Thanks.

Clint,


$$ will go out tomorrow (2 day air and return receipt required) My refi $$ was held up. I have it in the bank now~ We're on!

I mailed my check to you this morning. Thanks!

Sounds good,guys.

Matt P's order arrived in the mail today. Still waiting on Gordo. You out there,fella?

Bob,your order arrived today. Thank you.

So are we good to go on orders today? graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Yes,sir. The GP is now closed. I'm in the process now of writing up the orders for Global West so I can mail them a check for our parts.
All that participated should give yourself a pat on the back. You made it happen.

CLINT;

The Team Members should send you several twelve (12) packs of whatever you want, as it is a difficult task to do what you did. The phone calls, emails, paperwork, etc. can become "Mind Consuming" on group purchases.

Hats off to Clint Team Members.

As to us, we went a different way, and when it's complete, we will post pics/descriptions on the site.

Again, "CONGRATULATIONS", you team members are getting a quality product(s) at a great discount, as the Global West Control Arms really look "BEEFY".

graemlins/beers.gif graemlins/thumbsup.gif graemlins/beers.gif

a BIG thanks to CLINT!!! Now the BIG wait for the parts to actually make it to the door~ Way to go!! graemlins/beers.gif

Hi, Clint. I had mailed you my check thursday. Did it arrive in time? Thanks for the effort!

Definitely a big thanks to Clint. My order was pretty small, but 20% off is a pretty nice discount! Thanks again Clint for all of your efforts! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Yes,it just made it in under the wire,Rick. :D

Thanks for the kudos,guys,but you are the ones that made it happen. Just to let you know,the order was finalized this morning and the funds are on the way to GW.

Update? graemlins/waving.gif

Yes,sir. I talked to Steve at Global West today. He said the funds have been received and some stuff will start shipping out,tomorrow. The tubular a-arms are at the powdercoaters now and will start shipping in approximately 2-3 weeks.
All I need to finish up my front end is some QA-1 coilovers and some Baer brakes. Anyone interested in a Baer GP in the near future? I'm a long time dealer.

I'd be interested in a Baer GP. Thanks, Clint.

Clint, you're going to break me!
But, sure, I'd be interested.....

I know what you mean,Armando. Heck,I've spent over $10K on my El Camino this month and the well is about to run dry. :D
Here's the plan. To become a wholesale/distributor
for Baer,it will require a $10K buy-in. Obviously,this GP will take some time to put together.

Originally posted by Clint44:

Already have the GW uppers, spindles, 1LE's and MC but I am diving into a full blown resto so could easily sell the 1LE set-up. I'll be watching for this with great interest. Please keep us posted. I would want all four corners ofcourse.

Beaux,I plan on doing a full-blown Baer group purchase after everyone gets their parts from Global West. That takes first priority at the moment.
You guys wanting to keep your 15" wheels need to check out Baer's new Serious Street brake kit for A-bodies. They have built their killer Eradispeed two-piece rotor in 11" sizes and incorporated a pair of these into the Serious Street package. The calipers are twin piston PBR's used on '90-95 ZR-1 Corvettes.

You rock Clint. :cool: graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Just touching base here. Has anyone received their parts from GW yet?

CLINT;

The heck with the parts, we hope you have a "Big Brown Truck" that pulls up to your home every day with a "Load Of 12 Packs"!

That's the least the GW Group Purchase guys and gals could do for your dedication and hard work on this GROUP PURCHASE.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clint44:

I guess I should hold on to my thoughts of getting new brake system. I'll be interested in what we can get at Baer!
graemlins/beers.gif

Just check out http://www.baer.com/ and look over their different brake kits and pick out the one you want.
Since I'm running 17" wheels,I plan to order Baer's Track kit with 13" Eradispeed rotor option. I've already got 12" Baer Eradispeeds on my car's Alston Fab 9 rear.

I received part of my order yesterday... Now just waiting on the upper n lower A arms...

Ok,guys. It's been almost a month since our order was placed with Global West. How about a progress report on your separate orders? I'm still waiting on my tubular a-arms. Anyone else received theirs,yet?

Clint,

I am running 15in draglites, is there a reason why I can't use the Baer 12in Sport Front system? If I can use 12in brakes from a 1LE, am I missing something here that would cause the 12 Baer's not to work? Or will the 12 Sport work with my 15 Weld's, not just with stock OEM 15in wheels?

Kerry

Both the Baer Sport system and the 1LE use the same style PBR caliper,I think,so your wheels should work fine. Might not hurt to call Baer and ask them to send you a paper template to make sure,though.

I'm STILL waiting on my uppers n lowers.... :eek:


UPDATE.... My lowers showed up today, now where the heck are those uppers?????

The long wait for this stuff sucks. I'm ready to start rebuilding my entire front suspension but am waiting for parts.

My lowers showed up this afternoon, now where the devil are those uppers???? :confused:

Still waiting for my lower rear control arms...but I'm in the middle of remodeling...so, no time to work on the Malibu anyway...

Both my upper and lower a-arms arrived today via UPS. Just need to get some front QA1 coilovers and Baer front brakes & I"ll be all set. smile.gif

I'm STILL waiting for my uppers... kinda upset at this point that they didn't all come at the same time. I hope the order at GW has not been FUBAR'ed... :confused:

I wouldn't let it get to you too much,Bob. GW doesn't have a reputation for speedy shipping and besides that,they are swamped with orders right now. Have you called and talked to Gilbert or Steve,yet? Probably wouldn't hurt to do so.

Not to contradict anyone but I ordered uppers/lowers/coil-overs for the tall spindle conversion last year and had them in less than two weeks. Ordered another set CTA47A uppers and CTA42H lowers last Wednesday (July 9, 2003) and the lowers arrived yesterday and the uppers are "Out for delivery" from UPS today! Must be one of those Timing Is Everything situations.

I missed out on the group purchase deal but did get 10% off and free shipping which works out to about 17% total.

Clint, I received my shackle kit. Thanks so much.

Bob,I just got off the phone with Gilbert at GW. He told me your upper a-arms were done and would ship today. That should complete your order,,correct? FWIW,my a-arms were shipped at different times.
Also,he told me Matt's and Rich's orders would be filled this week. You guys please keep me informed.

Glad to hear your parts arrived without a hitch,Rick.

I still haven't seen my Lower Rear Control arms yet.

Gilbert said the rest of the GP orders would be sent out this week,Armando,yours included.

Talked to GW today and they shipped my rear lower arms yesterday and that completes my order. Received the upper fronts earlier this week. All in all, they shipped my stuff in four different stages. I think you just have to wait for excellent quality like this. Thanks Clint for making it all possible!

Cool! Thanks for the update... graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Thanks Clint,

The arms where on the deck waiting for me Friday after work... My order is complete now. Now waiting on shocks... and had to return a brake kit to MP Brakes as it was the wrong one sent out. Should see the correct one next week sometime. graemlins/beers.gif

The New Phone Books are Here,the new phone books are here...ahem....I Mean....

My new Control Arms are here! My new Control Arms are Here!

One Word.....BEEFY! I'm definitely going to need some Control Arm Braces! Anyone got some they're not using? :D

Thanks for the GP Cliff! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

anyone changing out lowers on a 68 want to part with their drivers side ?? I just got mine back from sandblaster & its cracked !! OH well at least it didn't break while I was driving it :eek: swapmeets not for two weeks :(
