I'm doing a disc brake conversion on my '54 Mercury and they've got the best deal on rotors and rebuilt calipers from reputable suppliers. What's been your experience dealing with them?

Years ago, they did have Thunderbird Mufflers for 914-2.0's. I know they did sell some VW bits.
I grew up with that on Dad's car. The internet probably wasn't good for JCW (used to be Warshawski's) When I was in the Chicagoland area, I used to go down town to look at the stuff before buying it. Some of it was cheezy and others of it was as good as or better than local car parts stores (only cheaper). Years went by and they moved out of Chicago and are now somewhere near Utica, IL. I haven't bought from them in a couple years due to being able to source parts through the internet. I still get catalogs. |
