Re: Fustrated at Snyders (Vent session)
After such a Model A Part's Order confusion which developed enough interest for 60+ responses, seems like this one (1), single Model A Parts order could have been inspirational for making a prize winning 1930's Laurel & Hardy Movie.

Re: Fustrated at Snyders (Vent session)
H.L. -
As a kid, I collected standard 8mm, Super 8mm and 16mm optical sound L & H movies from Blackhawk Films here in Davenport. In addition to my films, I checked out ones from the library. Occasionally there was an L & H film on local TV, but not too often. I think over the years I have seen every L & H movie that still exists. Mercifully only a few of their early efforts have been lost to time and man. Anyway, I am sure my love for antique cars was fostered while watching those flickering films in the cool darkness of my bedroom. By far, the majority of the cars L & H drove in these movies consisted of Model T Fords that invariably were destroyed or seriously compromised. One might see Model A's on the street, but the only movie I can specifically recall L & H actually driving a Model A was when they were towing a trailer in one of their embarrassingly awful Fox period movies in the 1940's. (Stan Laurel apologized to anyone who would listen for those movies for the rest of his life.) So, I'd welcome an L & H movie with a Model A instead of a Model T! When does production start?

Re: Fustrated at Snyders (Vent session)
Tams is located in West Boyleston Mass. which is right next to Worcester.
Its a family run place, Joe and his daughter Joanne do it all. They have a lot of inventory, competitive pricing and customer service is top notch. I am 50 miles from there in Derry NH and if I call them before 5:00 I get it UPS the next day. |

Re: Fustrated at Snyders (Vent session)
It is a sentence because you have a subject and a verb, but you also have two thoughts, so you need to separate them.
"The aim in writing is always to write in complete sentences which are correctly punctuated. Sentences always begin with a capital letter and end in either a full stop, exclamation or question mark. A complete sentence always contains a verb, expresses a complete idea and makes sense standing alone." libweb.surrey.ac.uk/library/skills/Grammar%20Guide%20Leicester/page_02.htm |

Re: Fustrated at Snyders (Vent session)
Brattons gives me a 7% commercial shop jobber / reseller discount across the board . They get most of my business because of that. I tried with Snyders / Tams for a courtesy discount and they dont offer it. I had a 4K order sitting right in front of me ready to go.
Hung up and gave it to Brattons along with all my other future shop needs.. It is what it is Last edited by Mitch//pa; 04-21-2017 at 12:57 PM. |

On the other hand it does make it extremely hard to read and understand posts without proper punctuation and capital letters. The absolute worst is runningallyourletterstogether. Use spaces... "Punctuation and spelling, come on, give him a break, are we all perfect?" |

Re: Fustrated at Snyders (Vent session)
Thank to Tom I got you model A guy and gals some new parts that they made new. Tom called me I don't know how many times with questions and answers. They do go to all positable means to help customers. I know own a 1929 CCPU AA so I am working on getting some more AA parts hopefully made. Tom told me one of there biggest problems is if customers don't see there item in the book or web page, they figure that they don't sell it. Tom told me that if you need a part call and ask. They determine by the request for parts if it would pay them to have the parts made to sell. I know 1 guy that needed the cross piece to hold the top and bottom back panels together on a pickup 28-29. Tom said they didn't have the measurements to make it, if he could get the measurements they would check with the people that make that stuff for them. They made the part. Now you can buy that part. They are good people.

"The aim in writing is always to write in complete sentences which are correctly punctuated. Sentences always begin with a capital letter and end in either a full stop, exclamation or question mark. A complete sentence always contains a verb, expresses a complete idea and makes sense standing alone." ----------------------------------------------- there are several universal words that are extremely dangerous. One of them is "always". for many, aim just means getting on the board - not necessisarily* a 'bulls aye', but somewhere in the closer rings *Necessarily ever heard of e.e.cummings ? ---------------------- But point is well takn. It is often a struggle to figure out what many people are trying to say. One of my vices has been 'tightness' in writing correct english. However, I am begginning to show progress in 'loosening up' and 'cutting some slack'. As long as the point is gotten over clearly, I am trying to 'not sweat the small stuff'. But I still have to struggle to understand what the writer is saying in a number of posts on the FORD BARN. |

And, Snyders has taken time to discuss wants/needs and made recommendations for replacement parts. They have also accepted suggestions and ideas for improvements ! Spelling and sentence formation be damned, all I want is good service and parts |

Re: Fustrated at Snyders (Vent session)
As long as we are picking on spelling and grammar, your sentence should have started "You're" and not "Your", as "You're" is a contraction for "you are". And no, I did not go to college.

Hm, you did good, considering how you did it ! I can't even follow how you did it without computer in front of you! Nothing wrong with a bit of venting now/then, as it drains the venom out of the wound, eh . My advice to you is to call in orders and speak to owner(s). Makes it personal and better communication, in my experience with Snyder's. Am I saying that they never screwed up my orders...no. I am saying that they made every effort to immediately correct any error (mine /theirs). My guess is that you are a young'un. Patience learned early , gets you thru a lot of life un-scarred. Venting/ranting is best saved/used, if at all, for serious matters.... not model a stuff, IMO. |
