Please forward to others as appropriate. It seems his dealership has had second thoughts on internet parts sales. For whatever reason, they weren't making as much as they wanted to, so they are shutting this off. Dal has said they will honor ALL pending requests/orders that are in the works, and will still take performance parts orders (to clear inventory). However, all other requests for "general" parts are out :( Dal has indicated that he will send a message out later with more details...so please don't swamp him with questions on this. All I can say is I wish Dal the best in whatever comes for him...he was a great guy and really helped a lot of us, myself included, a lot. TTYL!
