Grady "Resold" parts. (WAS: RACK UPDATE)

["malevy_nj" <malevy_nj@xxxx>]

It is no secret that many of the parts Grady sells are sourced from 
DMCH. So, one would ask "Why buy it from Grady if I can get it from 
DMCH directly?".

Speaking for MYSELF ONLY, I have seen the quality of parts Rob has 
received from DMCH myself just my luck of timing (I was at the shop 
when a box was opened) and was quite amazed at the poor quality 
of "NOS" parts that were received. I thought for sure, these parts 
were shipped by DMCH in error. Rob was very quiet about the 
situation, but did not seem surprised at all... However, He was 
reluctant to talk about it, for reasons I can only assume have to do 
with not wanting to "bad mouth" the competition.

I continue to purchase all of my parts though Rob, even if I know he 
is sourcing them from DMCH. Frankly, I don't care where he gets them 
because I know when it arrives at my doorstep it will be the correct 
part, and meet the highest quality standards possible. If he gets 
the part from DMCH and it is poor quality, I know he will "filter" it 
out and make sure what I get lives up to his reputation.

Maybe DMCH should consider purchasing their racks from Rob? While 
they are at it, they can buy the correct size door pistons from him 
too. And for those DMCH customers who want more than 6 increments of 
fuel level, Tankzilla will do the trick.
