Gene Sanders/Model Engineering
 

Anyone contacted or heard from Gene Sanders at Model Engineering. He sent me my last order at the end of the year and now nothing? His mail box is full. He & I collaborated on the updated T5 bell housings & the new design Ford pattern housings. He was making them to my specs for the last 7-8 years. Have no other contact info except his phone? He's in his 80's so never know?

I buy a lot of parts from him and I panic when he goes off line for a while. Told me today he has a new phone and hasn't got the recording thing figured out yet.

Glad he is still in business. I bought an adapter to a flathead to a Ford toploader and thermostat housings for an 8ba in a '39 p/u. Quality parts, reasonable shipping and an all around good guy to deal with.

Glad to hear he is doing well. I've also purchased items from him and share everyone's experiences. Does Gene still have a website or how do you get in contact with him to order parts from him?

I did a Google search and couldn't find one.

In the past he had a web site but in all honesty it sucked. Only way I ever ordered from him was by phone and it took several tries. Worth it in the end. IMO

Thank you. I was hoping to get an idea of the products he is still offering before I call him.
