Good post A bones.

The OP in this thread is the first negative post on C&G that I can ever recall seeing on Fordbarn. I've only occasionally ordered parts from C&G, and I don't recall having any problems. I personally would not hesitate to place an order with them today.
 
I find it inexcuseable to bad mouth a business without personally talking to them about the issue.
Kyle, Dorathy and the team there are all stand up people who are happy to take the time to discuss your project and offer guidance and advice based off their VAST experience in the early ford game.

I have used them for years on several projects and have never heard such a bunch of baloney. Talk to them and straighten it out, please.

And please edit the name of your thread so it doesn't misrepresent your issue with a pattern of behaviour by the business.
 
Have been using C&G for over 20yrs. and have always found them to be very accommodating and helpful; I have no doubt they will resolve this to your satisfaction.
 
The parts that I have bought from C&G arrived on time or before,fit fine & best of all,save the best for last, they were delightful & helpful to talk to & order from.
 
Its a crime to have the thread name glaring on the most current page. Can we all just stop this thread by no longer adding to it. Stop and let it die and fade away.

I had hoped we could stop it by Digger posting the results of his call to C&G. As you stated, he should also change the title.

I've been buying stuff from C & G on and off for the best part of 30 years and have never, ever had an issue, and that's all the way back to when Clyde and Gail were running the show with Dorothy and Kyle assisting.
 
One thing to always know about the internet if you see it once. You ignore it. If you see it twice maybe there is some volatility. You see it a dozen times... well it might be true or sh!t. It's the internet.

More people here have had great experiences. It's a part mislabeled in the catalog or thought to be original (how often has that happened, a few times).

Digger is no newbie. Maybe a bad part or label. I'd be a bit forgiving if I spend thousands and got one part that was bad. Really up to C&G and the buyer to make it right. Nothing is certain really. Let it die till Digger updates. Only they can clear this accusation.

They sent me the wrong part once and then sent me the correct part all the way down here to NZ at no extra cost and without me sending the wrong part back. They never asked me to send it back, but I did out of my own pocket as a show of "good will" for the outstanding service they had given me over the years.

Someone mentioned Joe's Antique yesterday, I downloaded the catalog and in there there were specific notes re the tanks and adaptors.

To be honest sometimes we don't realise how lucky we are. If you had an old British car like a Vauxhall you wouldn't be able to buy hardly anything.

We have used C&G for years at our shop with flawless service and quality. Over the years, we have seen many vendors come and go. C&G remains our "go to" source. You can address complaints and suggestions to Dorothy Bangiola at 1941 Commercial Street Escondido CA 92029-1233. Her parents, Clyde and Gail, founder the company, and she has done a fine job as leader.
 
I been using C&G over the past few years and I haven't had a problem with service or quality of parts. I put in an email order late last Sunday night for some misc. small parts for my '40 coupe. The order was delivered today [Tuesday afternoon]. A few months ago with another order one part was back ordered. Joe got a hold of me the day I received the order and said the backordered part would be out the next day. No complaints and I am thankful there are vendors still out there with quality customer service.
