Central, we do rely upon member contributions to keep the site and server running smoothly. As membership grows, so does
site usage. Recently we have seen a huge jump in server load and bandwidth. As a result, at times we notice extremely
slow page loading. Many of you may have also noticed the new member rankings used to recognize supporting members.

Has anyone used Dixie Monte Carlo for ordering parts. My 86 got hit in my driveway and have to get right side quarter panel and moldings. There web site seems to have all I need.
If anyone knows a beter place to order parts needed above let me know.
Lots of people here have used Dixie Monte Carlo with no problems. I ordered a headliner from them and got socked with an extra shipping charge of $75 that didn't appear on my online receipt. They offered no apologies or explanation when I emailed them, no response at all in fact.
I will never order anything from their website again. If you order from them, do it on the phone and get receipt with total charges included. _________________

I can tell you some horror stories i heard on the Monte Board about Dixie and Gbody parts. _________________ 80 ElCamino / Blue-Blue 454-400 Trans

I ordered all my parts at once. New seals, SS nose kit, new front fenders, inner fenders, and some other things. My bill came out to over $3000 and the guy there wouldn't even budge on shipping/handling charges even though everything arrived on the same pallet. Then, when I asked for a receipt (because I ordered over the phone) they said they could not find any information on me...

I ordered all my interior from them. Half the order arrived promptly, the other half took several months as it was backordered, when I called to inquire they acted like I was bothering them, as a matter of fact they told me they would check on the parts and I never heard from them again. The parts did eventually arrive tho.
They would have to be my last resort to order again. _________________ 1984 El Camino
