    Reminds me of a starter generator rebuilder near my home, just a path thru piles and piles of old starters, generators, alternators etc, not a flat level surface anyplace, you can walk in and ask for literally anything and he will go to a pile stick his hand in it and pull out exactly what you asked for, he knos where everything is in what appears to be an absolute mess to anyone else

    Wow, seen my Vette at the end there, well mine had white stripe down back and ZL1 horseshoe on front.

  • @mrgreezy1
    @mrgreezy1 9 місяців тому +8

    There is absolutely no way there is any accuracy in knowing what is on hand and what isn’t.. the lack of organization proves it. You could employ 20 people cataloging and selling parts for years and not even scratch what’s in that building… this is just a hoarding situation absolutely. 💯 always cool to see vintage stuff tho !!!

    • @WudYuRather
      @WudYuRather 8 місяців тому +3

      Nah you ask leonard about something you need and he can easily point you too a shelf too find several of what your looking for! He used too supply like autozone and a few other parts stores back in the day.

    @GrandPitoVic 8 місяців тому +1

    This is hard to see. I am kind of a history nerd you could say. I love history and hotrods. Any kind of car, i dont care. But they are pushing us out of the hotrod and racings scene. They are trying to stop it like they did back then. Except now they have more power because we let them do it to us. People will protest about stuff happening on other countries but they wont for things here that are important. People are just misguided and dont have a clue about anything. Sad to see the old shop go. Millions inventory i bet.

      Dude bought a new Vette with cash, why does it need to be organized if it's working and your make bank every day I don't think it's a problem remember it keeps the price low.

  • @edwardgomez7231
    @edwardgomez7231 4 місяці тому

    Sadly the place is an absolute mess. Not organized, scattered.... I've seen big inventory speed shops & everything is inventoried, tagged & stored properly . This guy should've done the same over the years . Easier to find, keep clean & sell.
