I've used them - some time ago. No problems. As far as I know they are just fine to deal with.

Gaslight has been around for 50 years. They make the steel finders for the Model A. They are a good source for parts.

Re: has anyone ever purchased parts from.....
I've bought parts from them several times at their store . Their parts are basically the same that all the other parts houses carry although not as extensive as some of the bigger dealers. No problems with anything that i've ever got from them. They do make the new front fenders there but their dies are worn so they typically need some reworking to get them to fit good. They also sell T and V8 parts too.

I have used them with good results.
Note they sell a Signal Stat 900 replica for less than $20. They seem to charge for shipping what they are charged by USPS which makes all their stuff cheaper than the other vendors. They sell the same items as the other vendors. |

Great company to buy Ford parts from! The owner has one of the best race car collections in the country.

Re: has anyone ever purchased parts from.....
I restored a 30 tudor sedan for another gentleman back in the mid 90's. His front fenders looked as if they had been run over by a truck. I ordered two new front fenders from Gaslight. One fit with a minimum amount of work while the other required several hours of adjusting. I called & ask if they had a jig & did any prefitting before shipping and they said no.
I had to go to Dayton Ohio several times for training & I drove out to Gaslight in Urbana Ohio. They have a nice store. |

Re: has anyone ever purchased parts from.....
I stopped using them back in late 70's.. No problem with them. I found better parts sold by Bratton's ,Snyder's, A+L and Bert's..It all depends on what you are shooting for in a restoration.

Re: has anyone ever purchased parts from.....
well said Pet.....I agree all the way....they used to have Rick and his mother and dad going to the swap meets selling but they ended that so it sure has to hurt their turn over in parts plus there adv. and getting there books out. Now rick is on the road selling Brattons parts so he has a better line of parts now.

Re: has anyone ever purchased parts from.....
I bought my fendersfrom them for my 31 tudor. Just a little work to get them to fit. Nothing major... I have been to their store several times while visiting the Air Force Museum. Nice people.
