Hey guys,
   Just wanted to give my fellow Canuckers a heads up.  Just found a great AMD supplier in Canada.  Found them through E-bay, then ended up calling their distribution and placing the order directly.  Even got free shipping out of it too.  NO DUTY FEES!  NO INSANE 250$ OR MORE SHIPPING COSTS!!!  :yesnod: :icon_smile_big: :2thumbs:

http://www.smsautoclassic.com
http://www.ebay.com/usr/smsautoclassic

Talked to Kim, ordered a new rear valance, plus new bumpers front and back (W/correct bumperettes), all AMD.

1034$ including HST...  This also includes FREE SHIPPING directly to my work.

695$ - Bumpers
249$ - Rear Valance

IN CANADIAN $!

Try ordering that from the states?  After conversion, shipping, and duties I'd be in the 1500$ range...  Would highly suggest them if you're in need of sheet metal or bolt kits.

The bumpers they had in stock today, the valance has to come up and should take 7-10 business days.  All is fine and dandy as if you look at my avatar you'll see I clearly don't need them right this second.  But I COULD have the bumpers this afternoon if I wanted to head out to Brampton...

Will give a full review of their service once I receive my parts.  This honestly put me into full gear on my restoration.  Sometimes we get lucky in Canada, what can I say? EH!

I bought close to $10k in metal and parts from Sylvain.

By far the best prices in Canada.

He also sells legendary interior too.

I made the stupid mistake of buying a rear valance direct from AMD a few years back. Cost me $209.95.....Fedex tried charging me $110 for customs charges
Told them to stick it where the sun don't shine....never again.

KMS Tools (and autobody) in Coquitlam has great deals.  They are a distributor for AMD.  The discount they give you will be about the same as shipping.  Another bonus is they ship free from Coquitlam to any of their stores in Canada.  So when I ordered my sheet metal, they bought it in to Coquitlam, Canada from AMD and shipped it to Edmonton.  I ended up paying about equal to what AMD has it listed for on their AMD website.  Even after exchange.

Good site, you must of got a bit of deal as they list the bumpers for $796 on the site.

Another way to get around shipping cost is to have parts delivered to parcel pick up Port Huron.  It is only a hour drive for me from London, and summit offers free shipping in the US with anything over $100.

Works for me

Just an fyi if you pay in cash the deal is better, or used to be anyway.Bought most of the big parts 2 or 3 years ago.
