First I've heard of it, I hope they're still in business.

Troy

Hope not! There's a big swap meet in Indianapolis next weekend and they are always there. We'll see.

Now that you mention that, I think they had a booth at the one in Michigan last month.  IIRC :scratchchin:

Yeah, that was a few years ago now.

Oh, ok. Time flies by so quick...I thought it was a few months ago!

Anyone check their ebay store? :Twocents:

I did on the moment I started the thread. They have something now, but nothing from the repro shop, just NOS pieces

When I followed your link it said located in "Estonia"? (On the "Homepage".)

 There are lots of parts on their ebay store now, so hopefully things are ok with them.
It was the metromopar ebay id I bought parts from last fall.

message from vansautosalvage asking if their seat back panels are the ones Metro used to sell:

Dear nachobay,

you are right Metro is out of business, these are the panels they used to sell, I wouldn't use the palco or accuform ones either, they look like crap

Boy I just got mine in time! Vans has been a good vendor for me.  :2thumbs:

472 R/T SE

I forget his username but his 1st name is Frank.

He has a s.o. 999 paint (silver) 1970 Charger R/T.  Awesome dude, but anyhow he works for them or did.

www.rosevillemoparts.com has taken over some of the Metro line to continue some of the Metro products, IIRC Metro has closed up the Mopar shop and has focused on making SKATEBOARD components!...no kidding

They did have some pretty cool skateboards at the Nats last year. As of Sunday, I was the only Mopar parts customer - but I think they sold out of their $400 skateboards! No way could they have covered their 3 (or 4?) swap spaces with parts sales. I gathered that it had been that way for a while.
