Logic is very simple American product on American product.

I agree! It really gets my goat to go to a Mexican restaurant in NYC and it's run by Chinese immigrants!

I would like to know how someone can say after using many repro Chinese, Japenese and Mexican parts In their restoration that their Yenko, Copo or even Z/28 is really worth what they think it is? It is no longer original and or restored with American parts. My opinion is if you can still get, buy or obtain American parts for your resto then you should do it. There are always NOS or good used parts out there. Have to look a little harder thats all. How can American Muscle be called that if it is somewhat of a kit car from foreign manufactures?

This is a direct quote from you Sam.

You are right Jim. I gave in. I buy most of my parts from overseas manufacturing because my wife put me on a budget. Can't tell anyhow and my cars arn't worth enough to worry about it.

Somehow I find it more acceptable when the parts are consumable/ wear items like rotors and such.

I was wondering if you Chevelle guys are aware of a 2 piece rotor made in the USA sold by Heartbeat City? I spoke with them this morning and the price is $225 each. At least there is an American replacement for those worn out originals and our money stays here.
