I’m curious to know if they are still in business as well.

Re: MEC - ModelEngineering Co , Akron Ohio
 

Yes, MEC is still in business. I just recently received some parts and have talked with Gene Sanders several times in the last month. Phone # (330) 644-3450.

Re: MEC - ModelEngineering Co , Akron Ohio
 

Try again, they may have been closed for the holidays.

Re: MEC - ModelEngineering Co , Akron Ohio
 

Just ordered some parts from Gene before Christmas. He did say something about his building being sold and having to move so he may be in the middle of something like that?

Re: MEC - ModelEngineering Co , Akron Ohio
 

You should add what you are looking for and maybe someone can recommend an alternate source. MEC does carry a lot of one of a kind parts and I appreciate that.

Every time I've wanted to order parts from them I've called and I've talked to Gene directly and never have had any issues. I do know their web site isn't the best but their parts are outstanding IMO. Might be a holiday thing or moving as some suggested but hang in there it will be worth the wait. Again IMO.

I've been trying to reach Gene over the phone with no luck. I am looking for one of his 32 master cylinder brackets that bolts to the K-member. Does anyone know if he is still making these? Or does anyone have one they want to part with?

Thanks,

Neal

Be very careful and DON’T open the web link provided in the website address as posted above!! I just tried to open it and now have malicious malware and has locked my computer!!!!!

Re: MEC - ModelEngineering Co , Akron Ohio
 

He still advertises in Hemmings. His web site sucks but never had any malware issues. It does take a while for him to return calls but in the past he always has. His stuff is top notch, IMO so just keep leaving messages. All I've got, sorry.

For what it is worth here is the one I made up for my '32 roadster. I relocated the battery to the right side but with todays smaller batteries I could probably find a better place.

The same thing happened to me. I just immediately shut my computer down and did a restart and it works fine.

That steel brake line looks too close to the exhaust pipe.

Thanks for the observation. It looks like that in the photograph. I will check to see how it is in the real world.

It seems even the hackers are incompetent these days.:rolleyes:

Re: MEC - ModelEngineering Co , Akron Ohio
 

This is a pretty simple scam. Usually called a "scareware" scam.



1. Take over a website name that the owner had allowed the domain to expire.
2. Load a simple program that looks like it locks up the computer, and convincingly tells you that you have been hacked (in this case, as many it really is an "innocent" program that is just running like the "crook" told it to). If you have any reasonable anti-virus or anti-malware program the "bad stuff" would not have gotten past it!
3. Tell the "mark" they have to contact the scammer to unlock things...
4. If the "mark" "bites" they charge big $$$ to "fix" and often have you load a program that REALLY IS nasty malware or spyware.
5. Or you reboot and life goes on as well as it did before.
