So I guess they are still in business, they took an order for a passenger fender support from me a while ago; and the answering machine is still on...so if anyone gets ahold of them tell them Don Weymer WANTS HIS FENDER SUPPORT!!

Thanks Pelicans....

We have temporarily stopped selling their product because Bill never returned our phone calls either.

Great...I'll tell him to call you too If I get ahold of him. Anywhere else I can get a fender support?

HMM I orderd on the web last week. The next day I got two confirmation calls from Bill stating my package shipped since the item was in stock. Should be here this week.

I have a drivers side fender support. Which do you need?

I ordered a license panel from them about 2 months ago and got the part in a timely fashion. It's always been a good company in the past maybe there's an illness.

[dweymer]

Jamie- the other items I ordered arrived in about 3 weeks just this fender support is MIA

Passenger side

[Bobboloo]

Dooh!

Bill must like me, I've received everything I need for my 912 restoration within a week or so of ordering.

[K.B.]

Bill's shop is about 2 blocks away from me. Some of the parts are stored in flat stackable condition and need to be spot welded together before they are ready for shipping. The parts would take too much space if they were stored in complete "ready to ship" state. I have had to check several evenings before I find him at the shop to pick up parts.

His shop is actually located in an old factory that he rents space in. The factory was the former Horner Woolen Mill that made blankets for the army in World War 2 among other things. The city was gpoing to buy the factory from the owner to convert to a theater/art complex. There is currently some legal action as the owner was going to sell the whole factory but changed his mind and wants to continue to rent it out to various businesses. This legal action should have nothing to do with the Porsche parts business other than I'm sure Bill is wondering if he will keep his shop where it is or move.

I have always heard some people get their parts right away (probably if they are in stock and ready to ship) and some wait for some time.

He's been getting b!tched at pretty heavy on the 356 Registry....he seems to be ramping it back up and the stuff is finally getting shipped.

I ordered and received some rockers within the last 2 weeks. Yeah he’s a little slow, but he called me day after I placed my order and was real easy to work with. Maybe I just got lucky, but I’ll order from him again (wish I didn’t need to!).

[Porsche Doc]

Hey guys,
Bill is still there.
He is working on another place.
He is kinda getting a screw job from the city.
I just received a set of turbo fender for our C4RSR project last Tuesday. Try to be patient.
The 356 guys scream the most cuz they have the rustiest cars.
The phone number is still good. Keep trying you will get him.
I have been buying part from Bill for a very long time.
He make nice parts and I WOULD HATE to loose him!
Also he makes and sells the most in the industry.
You know what I talking about!

So buy your all your body stuff from him, and help out a great guy Man!
Thanks!

[Bobboloo]

I know some of the parts he doesn't make himself. Some he buys from PAG so maybe the fender support is one of those parts. That might explain the seperate shipping. Maybe he didn't have it in stock and is waiting on it.

Wow Darryl, It looks like you're replacing half the sheet metal on that 912 which begs the question..why?

Just kidding of course this the 911 forum and we are allowed to pick on the 912 guys here.

By the way, some of the best eye candy at GAF this year was 912s. It seems the owners of them are quite happy with them in stock form and don't resort to bastardization of them like us 911 guys.

[DarrylD]

Hey Bobby! People said the same thing about rusty 356s a few years ago.

[Bobboloo]

Right you are. Remember how the 356 Cabriolets were frowned on just like the Targas of today. How many people wished they had one of those? Time will tell.

[dweymer]

Update: I sent a fax to Bill this am, and he called me back in a few hours. We apparently crossed wires somewhere, and the part will be pulled and shipped.

That's good to know Jamie... I'm going to order the pans I need from them coming up soon!

[dweymer]

So as not to leave this open- I got home from vacation on Sunday night, and the part was on the porch, and a very nice part at that!
