I made purchases for my deuce tudor project from different company's. They claim "in stock" & now I am waiting for parts on back order. Had I ordered from Speedway I am confident my order would have been filled. Speedway has become my "go to" from here on.

I don't know if others feel the way I do, but I would always pay more for quality products! This Vega box is far superior over cheap foreign knock-offs I've bought in the past. This is a quality product, made in the USA, and the quality shows right away.
