As I mentioned above, I figure the fact that you took the time to respond previously makes you flush with the house.

No longer do you have to place an order only to wait till it's been boxed up to find out your shipping charges.<br /><br />Sven,<br />I just looked up your order and I see the note. Orders that are placed online are automatically imported into our order system, but we do have a system of checks that is suppose to catch customer's notes. I will speak to the person that is to be reviewing these and find out what happenend. <br />Please don't hesitate to email me if you need help with anything in the future.<br /><br />Jason@CJPonyParts.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362925166950770245.post-86932479893263364212010-11-30T09:26:09.911-05:002010-11-30T09:26:09.911-05:00I'm glad that bit of info shed some light on t...I'm glad that bit of info shed some light on the subject. I had to chuckle at myself a bit as in the past two days, I've crawled under one 67 and two 68's (all coupes) and found gussets on the left side only on both 68's and nothing on the 67 (Just as Alex said above). However, I expect my face on the local "most wanted" posters as the town's newest suspected car thief! LOL!

Read a little more, learn a little more... thanks again guys.<br /><br />I must say that I will be checking out CJ Pony Parts in any future orders I need to fill.

I just went looking through my 68 Weld & Sealant Assembly Manual and they were indicated as "(100A14-5) GUSSET - FRONT SIDE MEMBER EXTENSION, FOR MODELS 63-65". So that explains it a little more. "Model 63" is the Fastback, "Model 65" is the Coupe, and "Model 76" is the convertible. So, in 68, the gussets were only in Coupes and Fastbacks.A.

When I ordered the gusset, I included a message in the notes section of the online order form requesting the credit. So in reality, I did not email anyone specific and relied only on the order processing (person?) to read the request and either respond or make the adjustment.<br /><br />The fact that you have taken the time to respond makes it worth the $1 and then some. Obviously, for me it was more a matter of principle and I would (and do) accept and understand the cost variability explanation with no problem whatsoever.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the perception of having my card charged almost immediately and never getting a token response conjures up feelings of being just another number in a great big machine and there are a number of large Mustang resto parts suppliers out there who make no effort at all to make you feel good about spending your money with them.<br /><br />The simple fact that you have taken the time to address my petty little complaint has ensured you will have a return customer in me and I will be looking to CJ Pony Parts as a source in the future. Thanks very much for your time and effort.<br /><br />Sven PruettSW Pruetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833091216176215652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362925166950770245.post-57935888017197323692010-11-29T11:57:37.676-05:002010-11-29T11:57:37.676-05:00I have read your blog a few times in the past and ...I have read your blog a few times in the past and as always have found it a wealth of great information. I work for CJ's and wanted to respond to a few of the comments that were made:<br /><br />Who did you email at my company? Please forward me the email to Jason@CJPonyParts.com and I will make sure you get the $1 credit as well as find out why you did not get a response.<br /><br />Please understand that while you received the catalog only a week or two ago, these were printed in the spring. We try to hold our pricing as much as possible, but as manufacturers adjust our costs throughout the year we have to keep our retail in line.<br /><br />As for the black coating, we always recommend you sand this off before installing. The coating is in place only so the product doesn't develop rust after being stamped out.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />JasonJasonhttp://www.cjponyparts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362925166950770245.post-76400810028302864842010-11-28T17:45:11.921-05:002010-11-28T17:45:11.921-05:00Mike,

It reads as follows: "These were originally installed on the driver's side of 1967 and both sides of 1968-1970. For extra strength they can be used on both sides from 1964-1970."<br /><br />With that, seems like something to consider if you can.SW Pruetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833091216176215652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362925166950770245.post-14251131453083765172010-11-28T07:31:54.881-05:002010-11-28T07:31:54.881-05:00I was just wondering the same thing about the guss...I was just wondering the same thing about the gussets and would be keen to know the what and when they were put into the 67/68 models.

At some point I read a bit about the corner gusset installation on 67-68 cars and why some had them and some didn't. 69-70 models all had them, but the actual part itself was the same.

Nice work. In my prior comment (deleted) I wondered about the gussets, wondering why some 68's had them and some didn't and then realized yours is a 70 duh. :-)A.
